History test:

How many of you here believe that the majority of slaves in the US were black?

Please provide an argument to support your opinion.

This could be a difficult one.

Mexicans held Indians as slaves.

The first case of a runaway slave in the U.S. was a white man with a black master

Many whites came to America as slaves - the very word kidnap comes from a time when kids in Britain were being whisked off the streets and "kid nabbed" for ship labor and then sold in the U.S.
But that was before the US won its FREEDOM from British Rule. Damn, didnt that make all Americans slaves to the king of England? I think it did.

That's why I said this would be a difficult one. A black man was the first slave owner in the United States. So, from what year do we start counting and what classes of slaves are included?

If you're a liberal, you begin when the most blacks were the slaves.
No he wasn't.

Yes, he was. Let's not play children's games.

You are talking about anthony johnson. He was the first slave owner to have his master status recognized in a court of law for a slave that didnt commit a crime. He wasnt the first slave owner.

I don’t want to hear any crap that indentured servants were slaves

And there you go. It all depends. You just proved my point.

It all depends upon how anal retentive you want to be. In all reality, indentured servants did not live as good as black slaves

As usual you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. Just for shits and giggles, however....

"John Punch (fl. 1630s, living 1640) was an enslaved African who lived in the Colony of Virginia during the seventeenth century.[2][3] In July 1640, the Virginia Governor's Council sentenced him to serve for the remainder of his life as punishment for running away to Maryland. In contrast, two European men who ran away with him were sentenced to longer indentures but not the permanent loss of their freedom. For this reason, historians consider John Punch the "first official slave in the English colonies,"

...n July 2012, Ancestry.com published a paper suggesting that John Punch was a twelfth-generation grandfather of President Barack Obama on his mother's side, on the basis of historic and genealogical research and Y-DNAanalysis.[7][8][9] Punch's descendants were known by the Bunch or Bunche surname. Punch is believed to be one of the paternal ancestors of the 20th-century American diplomat Ralph Bunche, the first African American to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

What you just posted proves you were wrong. The guy was an african and the master was white. This happened before Casor.
The 2 white servants that ran away with the BLACK guy both got an extended indentured servant status. The black man got permanent servant status.

Bull Shit on toast

Indentured servants signed a legally enforceable contract for both parties. Slaves never had such a contract
Indentures servants had rights recognizable in a court of law
Indentured servants were not property
Indentured servants had a set time period of indenture
The children of indentured servants were not available to sell

Indentured servants were not slaves
