Actually it was the british colonies that introduced slavery in
America.
The first imported African slaves brought to the British North
American colonies were landed at Jamestown, Virginia in 1619.

Long before the U.S.A. existed.

In the 17th century, slavery was used as punishment by conquering
English Parliament armies against native Catholics in Ireland. Between
the years 1649 and 1653, during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland by
the New Model Army under the command of Oliver Cromwell, thousands of
Irish Catholics were forced into slavery. Cromwell had a deeply
religious antipathy to the Catholic religion and Irish Catholics who
had participated in Confederate Ireland had all their land confiscated
and were transported to the West Indies as slaves.

never existed in the UK and i never said The British Empire didnt condone
and use slavery. But the English never introduced slavery to the US

Chronology Of The History Of Slavery: 1619-1789

1619
The other crucial event that would play a role in the development of America
was the arrival of Africans to Jamestown. A Dutch slave trader exchanged his
cargo of Africans for food in 1619. The Africans became indentured servants,
similar in legal position to many poor Englishmen who traded several years
labor in exchange for passage to America. The popular conception of a
racial-based slave system did not develop until the 1680's. (A Brief History
