Anthony Johnson - The Father of US Slavery

Lonestar_Logic and ghook: you don't get "just once more" with your debunked nonsense.
OK small fry!

Colonia and American slavery was overwhelming perpetrated by whites. Whites were the first slave owners in the British colonies, including those in Canada and Bahamas and Barbadoes.

A few non-whites over the centuries owned some slaves in the colonies and America.

The Civil War was caused by the slave owners' desire to continue buying ad selling and owning humans.

Never stated they weren't! It would be ignorant to even try to argue the opposite.

Glad to see you coming around to objective reason and conclusion.
 
I asked you how do you know they didn't have one or something even better? Can you prove they did not have it?

Your beginning to rant like a lunatic again Paul. Calm down. it will be ok. :lol:

You claimed the technology was stolen by European invaders.
Show evidence?
Fucking retard.

The knowledge and concepts were claimed by Europeans as something they came up with. They lied.

That's not evidence, fool !!
That's just your hate.
 
Find name the court case or produce the court transcripts. I will help you because you are not that smart. The case is Re Negro John Punch. How your article blatantly lies. At the time people came in as indentured servants. Very similar to slavery, but not the same thing. In the John Punch case, the Indentured Servant was sentence to life indentured servitude for his crimes of breach of contract. Technically slavery, but it didn't set a legal precedent to enslave Africans. It set a legal precedent to put people to force labor for punishment for a crime (still goes on today and was SPECIFICALLY left out of the 13th amendment). Unjust for the crime, but it didn't set the legal precedent you claim.

The legal precedent to enslave Africas was set by the Johnson v. Casor case. In that case Casor finished his term and Johnson sued stating the he was his slave not indentured servant and the court erroneous held for Johnson, despite two white Property Owners arguing on his behalf, this was the precedent that VA used to set up their slave laws!



I would be willing to agree that Johnson was not the first slave owner, but his lawsuit brought about a precedent that facilitated African enslavement and was used to set up the first slave trade laws.

Yet of course your article falsifies the terminology to fit it's narative try, but the precedent for slavery to be legalized was by the Johnson case!

.

What about the law suit that resulted in John Punch being a slave for life? That was a legal precedent was it not?

It was a legal precedent for forcing labor due to punishment for a crime. That wa the one exception to the 13th amendment and still practiced today (hence chain gangs and community service). It didn't set up a legal precedent to forced labor withou the commission of a crime.

You didn't specify that a legal precedent was set for forced labor without the commission of a crime in the title of your OP. Claiming Anthony Johnson as the father of slavery in the US is incorrect. Your own historians say he wasn't. John Rolfe and Hugh Gwyn are 2 documented slave owners before him.

Man you are dense. I admit in another post in this thread he wasn't the first to hold slaves, but the case he brought was the legal precedent for legal forced labor without it being punishment for a crime!

The African slaves purchased by John Rolfe were not held as punishment for a crime.

I didn't read your admission you were wrong. Where is that at and why would you claim Anthony Johnson as the father of slavery then?
