The history books have been known to skew the truth towards whatever
political party is currently in
power. However what the history books
have refused to tell you over the years is that the history of the
American slave trade dates back to African on African slavery, the
Europeans simply bought the slaves from other Africans and brought them
to the New World. Once the slaves arrived in America they were also
purchased by their fellow Africans, especially in states such as
Louisiana where as much is 28% of all Blacks owned slaves.
The first slave owner in the United States went by Anthony Johnson.
Johnson was once captured in his native Angola by an enemy tribe and
sold the Muslim slave traders. He was eventually sold as an indentured
servant as a merchant working for the Virginia company.
Sometime after 1635, Antonio and Mary gain their freedom which is when he changed his name to Anthony Johnson.
In 1651 Anthony Johnson owned 250 acres, four white slaves and one black.
