Slavery in what is now Canada predates the arrival of Europeans, with some Indigenous peoples enslaving prisoners taken in war.1 Europeans brought a different kind of slavery to North America, however.

Just as importantly, Europeans viewed slavery in racial terms, with Indigenous and African people serving and white people ruling as masters.
