[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2642104, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Let's add a bit more. Anthony Johnson was a black man that was an indentured servant. Once his "term" of servitude was completed, he became a landowner and had indentured servants of his own. Four of those servants were white and one was black. In the Casor suit, Johnson won back that black "servant" who then became an indentured servant for life, thus a slave. So, Anthony Johnson was one of the first black "slave holders" and it was his case that was the first time that an indentured servant could be a servant for life, thus a slave. I guess that makes a black man the first "legal" (as in awarded in a court suit) slave owner.
