first-slave-owner-was-a-black-man/Prior to 1655 there were no legal slaves in the colonies, only indentured servants. All masters were required to free their servants after their time was up. Seven years was the limit that an indentured servant could be held. Upon their release they were granted 50 acres of land. This included any Negro purchased from slave traders. Negros were also granted 50 acres upon their releaseThanks DEMOCRAZY83
Great newslink!
ReplyDeleteWe need to get this sort of information out there. I use almost any possible social situation to educate folks on the Irish and Scottish "indentured servants" who were snatched from their beds, off the streets, the courts, anything. Call it what they want, it was slavery and these were the first slaves in North America. Owned by whites and Jews.
ReplyDeleteWhen that aspect of the genocide against those peoples resulted in no more available slaves, eyes were turned to the successful trade from Africa that was already established down on the Islands.
The Black slaves when introduced were better cared for because they represented a financial outlay from the start.
Needless to say, the Jewish brains behind this used gentile fronts to run their ships etc and be the face of their despicable business.
America's first slave owners were, technically, the Native Americans who routinely enslaved members of other tribes, btw.
But this fact, that the first "imported" owner was black, is fascinating. Let alone the numbers included in this article.
Valuable find RJ.
