When the ships came, everyone on Earth knew that there really were aliens. For a few thousand of them, the revelation was also a nightmare, because they were abducted and taken to Goa'uld-held worlds as slaves. Seeing what was about to happen, Jim Ellison did what he could to minimise panic and save lives and thus brought himself to the attention of Teal'c, the Jaffa in charge of the raid.
The Stargate remained a secret but the SGC were forced to become multi national, and started to send out larger teams in the hope of finding where the captives had been taken and why (there were enough survivors that Daniel had been able to identify the Jaffa as those who served Apophis). On a routine mission, SG1 run into a slave-collecting raid and are taken to Chu'lak along with the villagers.
Chu'lak is ripe for rebellion. Teal'c and Bra'tac decide to ally themselves with the Tau'ri, which can only be possible if they return the slaves to Earth.

"That's a sight I thought I'd never see again," he said. Feretti joined him in time to see Janet Frasier order Daniel out of the Gate Room.
"Same here," he said. "Daniel is going to spend one hell of a long time in debriefing, General. He lived in Apophis's Palace, interacted daily with other slaves. The way he goes off at a tangent, it will take months for him to tell us everything he knows."
"Let him rest first," Hammond advised and Feretti smiled.
"Yes, sir."
