The first documented West Indians in New England were slaves from Barbados. European slavers bought captured Africans and took them to Barbados in the British West Indies to work on ever-larger sugar plantations. Enslaved Afro-Caribbeans first came to Massachusetts in 1638 and to Connecticut in 1639.
