[TNHarley]

Why isnt IM2 coming in here to celebrate with me :/

 

[miketx]

[jillian]

Yippy!

yeah, you're not a bigot or anything. you just play one on the interwebs

Why is supporting free labor bigotry?

depends. do white trash get to be the slaves this time?

Blacks were not the only slaves in the History of the World or this Country...

Native Americans endure slavery and genocide but hey why would you care and the fact still remains Free Slaves also owned Slaves but again that does not matter to those like you!

it's so nice that you want to defend troll by bigots...

but try reading the title of the thread.

that might help ease your confusion.

although I know bigotry doesn't matter to those like you.

*Shrug*

You wrote about wanting to make white people slaves, so why do you hate white people so much?

Im not trying to do that at all. I couldnt justify the enslavement of man with anything.

There is a racist on here that says the story of anthony is a lie. This was a backhanded compliment to him

It is a lie.

Was the First Slave Owner in America a Black Man?

This image claiming that the first slave owner in America was a black man has been going around social media for the last few months. As is mentioned by commenter Ralph459, this is not a picture of Anthony Johnson, but that of former slave and abolitionist from Massachusetts, Lewis Hayden [1] This image says: “The First Slave Owner in America was not only a black man, but he went to court and demanded it”

There has been some argument as to what “America” really means as far as this image, South America was first called the Land of Americus, or America, in the Cosmographiae Introductio, printed on April 25, 1507, and it was later amended to add the name to North America as well, and in 1538, the geographer Gerard Mercator gave the name America to all of the Western Hemisphere on his Mapamundi.

African Slaves had been in the New World since at least 1501 when they were brought to modern day Brazil. But since this image is surely meant to use the 13 British Colonies, and not the United States of America, I will use them. I’m quite sure it wasn’t supposed to mean the United States of America, since in 1789 when it officially became a nation (When the Articles of Confederation were superseded by the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America) there were almost 700,000 slaves here already, and many laws had codified slavery, and some states had already abolished slavery by this point.

Slavery in the Colonies started nearly as soon as the colonies themselves, and information regarding these colonies is difficult to find due to so much being lost over the years and so much not documented to begin with. Slavery was first codified in 1641 in the Colonies. I will only write about slaves and slave laws that took place before 1655, the year mentioned in this image that case of Anthony Johnson vs Robert Parker happened.


Summary
Anthony Johnson wasn’t the first slave owner in America, legal or otherwise. He wasn’t the first in North America, he wasn’t the first in the original 13 colonies, he wasn’t the first in the US, he wasn’t the first made a slave owner by a court of law. He was at best the first known black slave owner in the 13 colonies.

Find me a court case that legally recognized slavery that predates anthonys. Ill wait. I would love to know.

 

[IM2]

OK so now that we have read this bullshit for the millionth time, why don't one of you whites making this claim tell me who created Jim Crow apartheid that was practiced nationwide for 100 plus years after slavery ended. Did blacks do that too?

In 1641, Governor John Winthrop, a slave owner himself, helped write the first law legalizing slavery in North America, the Massachusetts Bodies of Liberty, which the General Court passed on December 10, 1641.

In 1644 Boston merchants began importing slaves directly from Africa, selling them in the West Indies, and bringing home sugar to make rum, initiating the so-called triangular trade.

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,"[4]and his case as the "first legal sanctioning of lifelong slavery in the Chesapeake."[2] Historians also consider this to be one of the first legal distinctions between Europeans and Africans made in the colony,[5] and a key milestone in the development of the institution of slavery in the United States.[6]

It isnt a lie. It seems we are both telling half truths.
Johnson WAS the first slave owner to be legally recognized in a court of law. There was just already legal slavery in other parts of the colonies.

They both left their servitude. Both were returned by law to serve life sentences as slaves. I see no distinction.
