The move from indentured servants to slavery was set down in a court case in 1640/1641.

So slavery of blacks was from 1641 to 1865. Less than 225 years. And slavery ended 150 years ago.

The US didnt even exist until 1776 at the earliest so slavery in the USA lasted less than 90 years. Less than 80 if you go from the time the constitution was ratified.
