The Start of Slavery In America

Prior to 1655 there were no slaves in America, only indentured servants.

That changed when former black indentured servant Anthony Johnson sued for the right to own another person (John Casor a black man) for life and won.

A black man set the precedent for chattel slavery. He started slavery in America.
