Kaine’s reference to the first African Americans sent into the English colonies arriving at Point Comfort in 1619 is also a reference found in New York Times Magazine’s “1619 Project,” a collection of essays that has been deemed factually inaccurate by historians. The NYT also issue a major correction for one of the central essays in the project.

There are also biblical accounts of slavery in ancient Egypt.
Sen. Kaine went on to discuss the history of slavery in Virginia, claiming that its creation and enforcement relied heavily on the court systems in “colonial America that enforced fugitive slave laws.”
The court systems created and maintained by colonials weren’t the only enforcers of the institution, however. One of the first slave owners in Virginia was a black man named Anthony Johnson. There are also other accounts of black men owning slaves in early Virginia......
