Show me a history book that backs your claim. A link to stermfrunt doesnt count.The history books do no such thing. The history books state John Casor was the first legally recognized slave in the 13 colonies and that he was owned by Anthony Johnson (a free black man) thus making Johnson the first legally recognized slave owner in the 13 colonies.I wasnt the one that claimed he was the first slave. The history books did that for me. Again your comprehension of the english language is faulty. You said Anthony Johnson was the first slave owner in the US. Now your trying to say he was one of the first. Get your story straight. Get your facts together and try again. You look like a fool.I haven't deflected from anything, you seem to fail basic English Comprehension. Besides you were the one that changed the focus trying to claim John Punch was the first slave when he was nothing more than the first indentured servant to serve for life. Anthony Johnson was one of the very first to have been legally recognized as a slave owner in the 13 colonies. John Casor was the first person legally declared a slave in the 13 colonies and Anthony Johnson owned him.Youre deflecting from your claim that the first person to have a slave was Black in the US. Nothing you say will change the focus.Like I said, you don't know how to comprehend anything. There were other countries that had colonies here as well, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the French, the Germans, they all had slaves, but our heritage is based on English colonization, not those other guys.How could there possibly already be slaves in the Americas when you just claimed Anthony Johnson was the first slave owner? See? Youre so angry about getting busted spreading your lie you failed to realize you just contradicted yourself.
You haven't busted anybody on anything. I haven't contradicted myself on anything, but please keep trying, you make yourself look more and more inept with each comment.
Here is your statement...
Oddly enough the first slave owner in the US was actually a black freeman who had 2 indentured servants that ran away and the courts made them slaves for life. In the beginning there was no difference based on ones color of their skin.
Now explain to the board how you went from that to "well he was one of the first"?
Yes Anthony Johnson was one of the first legally recognized slave owners in the 13 colonies, and since he owned the first legally recognized slave, that would make him the first.
The only one with a comprehension problem is you, sorry its not Eubonics, for you milkweed.
John Punch (slave) - Wikipedia
The National Park Service, in a history of Jamestown, notes that while it was a "customary practice to hold some Negroes in a form of life service," Punch was the "first documented slave for life."
