African slaves were here since the 1500'sWho would have thought that The First American Slave Owner Was Black?

That isn't true.. The first slaves arrived in New Amsterdam from the sugar plantations in Brazil in 1654.
The first blacks were brought to Jamestown in 1619. The Pilgrims did not yet exist, nor did the Dutch in what is now New York. Virginia and Jamestown is where America was founded. And yes, a prosperous black man was one of the first slave owners in America.
