The United States slave population by 1860 was approximately four million.

In 1850, a majority of southern slaveholders owned one to five slaves. Slavery was started in America in 1619, when the first African slaves were brought to the North American colony of Jamestown, Virginia. Slaves were used for many kinds of work.
