1st Black American Slave and Slave Owner

[Jim]

  The first slave owner in America was not only a Black man, he went to court and demanded it.
  In1654
It was time for Anthony Jonhson to release John Casor - ablack indentured servant.  Instead Anthony told Casor he was exyending his time.  Casor left and became employed by the free white man - Robert Parker
Anthony Johnson sued Robert Parker in the Northampton courts in 1654, In 1655 the court ruled that Anthony could hold Casor indefinitey.  The court gave judicial sanction for blacks to own a slave of their own race.
  Thus Casor became the 1st slave and Johnson became the 1st slave owner.
  So it was them doing it to each other that started it all.
