In the mid-eighteenth century, approximately 20 percent of people living in New York City were African-Americans who were held as slaves.

In the mid-eighteenth century, the New York City legally admitted around 6,800 slaves, with prominent NYC families such as the Schuylers, Van Cortlands, Livingstons, Waltons, and Beekmans profiting from the trade.

As many as 20 percent of colonial New Yorkers consisted of enslaved Africans. First were the Dutch and then English merchants who built the city's local economy largely around supplying ships for the trade in slaves.

The New York City ship captains and merchants bought and sold slaves along the coast of Africa. Then these traded slaves in New York produced- sugar, tobacco, coffee, indigo, chocolate, and cotton.

Hence, in the mid-eighteenth century, approximately 20 percent of the people were held as slaves who were living in NYC as African-Americans.
