It's Time To Clear Up Some Very Large And Ugly Lies Being Taught In America's School Systems
I wonder if this side of "slave history in the U.S." is taught in our schools and universities today, as well as Abe Lincoln almost being beaten to death by black thugs? Perhaps students in the high school, college, and university levels should download this important information and present it to their Marxist professors and teachers and strongly request a response. I present this information on my Blog to show and prove how incorrect the "history" element is in our nations educational system. Enjoy, and share with as many people as you desire.

The first American slave owner was black and Abraham Lincoln was almost beaten to death by black thugs
America’s First Chattel Slave Owner Was A Black Man
Actual drawing of Anthony Johnson. America’s first slave owner.
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 release.
Anthony Johnson was a Negro from modern-day Angola. He was brought to
the US to work on a tobacco farm in 1619. In 1622 he was almost killed
when Powhatan Indians attacked the farm. 52 out of 57 people on the farm
perished in the attack. He married a female black servant while working
on the farm.
When Anthony was released he was legally recognized as a “free Negro”
and ran a successful farm. In 1651 he held 250 acres and five black
indentured servants. In 1654, it was time for Anthony to release John
Casor, a black indentured servant. Instead Anthony told Casor he was
extending his time. Casor left and became employed by the free White man
Robert Parker.
Anthony Johnson sued Robert Parker in the Northampton Court in 1654.
In 1655, the court ruled that Anthony Johnson could hold John Casor
indefinitely. The court gave judicial sanction for blacks to own slave's
of their own race. Thus, Casor became the first permanent slave and
Johnson the first slave owner.
Whites still could not legally hold a black servant as an indefinite
slave until 1670. In that year, the colonial assembly passed legislation
permitting free whites, blacks, and Indians the right to own blacks as
slaves.
By 1699, the number of free blacks prompted fears of a “Negro
insurrection.” Virginia Colonial ordered the repatriation of freed
blacks back to Africa. Many blacks sold themselves to white masters so
they would not have to go to Africa. This was the first effort to gently
repatriate free blacks back to Africa. The modern nations of Sierra
Leone and Liberia both originated as colonies of repatriated former
black slaves from America.
However, black slave owners continued to thrive in the United States.
By 1830 there were 3,775 black families living in the South who owned
black slaves. By 1860 there were about 3,000 slaves owned by black
households in just the city of New Orleans alone.
