He was originally an indentured servant who arrived in Virginia around 1619 the year the 1619 project falsely claims the first slave ship arrived.
He later became a wealthy man who employed indentured servants himself. One of these was a black man John Casor.who claimed that he had completed his indenture.
Anthony Johnson sued and won establishing the first case of slavery for life in a civil case in the English Colonies and setting the precedence of slavery for life.
The practice began long before America gained its independence from England. It started during the reigns James II and Charles II and was encouraged by Oliver Cromwell.
The first shipment of slaves, which arrived in the Americas in 1619, was composed of 100 white children.
James II sold some 30,000 Irish prisoners to be used as slaves in the New World. In 1625 he issued a proclamation which required that Irish political prisoners be sent to the West Indies.
By the middle of the 17th century Irish slaves were being sold to Antigua and Montserrat. So many Irish slaves were sent to Montserrat that they made up 70% of the population.
Don't forget, it was so profitable that children started to go missing in the Lower End of London along with outlying providences, giving rise to the term Kidnapping.

This must be what the nimrods use to distinguish a "slave" from an "iNdEnTuReD sErVaNt."
Wait until you learn that Anthony Johnson had both black and white indentured servants...
John Casor was the first black that was given lifetime servitude in a civil case. Before that case, others (mainly black indentured servants) that attempted to escape, had been punished with lifetime servitude in criminal cases. John Punch was one such example.
I suspect that the first slaves in the “New World” were held by the different tribes long before Europeans arrived on the scene. African slaves arrived with the early explorers, mainly the Spanish and Portuguese, and expanded into the colonies late. The first African slaves arrived in what would become the US arrived in the Spanish colony of Florida in the mid 1500s (1535? Will need to double check later...)
The Irish did indeed become a source for Indentured Servitude, as did the other undesirables of England. I learned much on this subject from the book “White Cargo; the Forgotten History of Britain’s White Slaves in America.”
So he was black, so what, and slavery was legal, so what?
Keep in mind the push to label blacks as somehow beneath whites began in the early 1700s when the whites in the south realized that the black and white slaves were a threat.
They began using the white slaves to oversee the black slaves, telling the white slaves that they were better. Divide and conquer.
The plantation owners in the Indies did the same, setting whites against blacks against asians. Divide and conquer.
Yet somehow we are still buying into this crap. The divide is between rich and poor, anything else is smoke.
Yet it was legal at the time, was legal worldwide and practiced at the time worldwide. To attack people for having a slave once it was a crime is one thing to attack the long dead when it was common practice and legal to me is ridiculous.
Yeah owning slaves wasn't so taboo back then, that's isn't the point. The commie propagandists portray our history as beginning in 1619 with evil whitey oppressing brown people. So when one of those poor 1619 Africans was actually one of people leading the charge establishing slavery that is pertinent information, not because muh evil black people, because the history is complete bullshit.
I agree with you on that, absolutely. I just am sick to death of events that too place over two hundred years ago being grounds for someone thinking that it somehow means they have a "ticket."
Yeah, just one of those internet misconceptions. I couldn't find any actual pictures of Johnson. I guess he wasn't significant enough to warrant a portrait.
The big Dirty Little Secret on slavery: half to 2/3rds of white people coming to America in those days were enslaved as "indentured servants" for a set time period (some of them serving in lieu of prison time, some were kidnapped and sold into the system) and were treated much worse than black slaves, who were a lifetime investment thus in general received better care and treatment. (Relevant modern-day example: how do you treat a rental car, vs your own car? "Indentured servants" were the rental car.)
Inb4 bu bu bu bu but WHAT ABOUT "ROOTS?" I SAW THAT DOCUMENTARY!!! WAKANDA 4EVA!! Checkmate, Dourombphfkyns!"Roots" is a lie. Did you know "Roots" was (and still is) a lie? "Roots" is a lie. I hate to be the guy going around bursting the bubble of propaganda, but someone has to do it. "Roots" was proven in court to be largely plagiarized from a work of fiction, and- apart from the flowery prose he (and his "editor"/ghostwriter) concocted- had no true backup for the false claims that the "stories from grandma" (stolen word-for-word from a book written by a white/Jewish man) were his own.

The first slave ships were from England and the first slaves were Irish. https://virily.com/culture/irish-slaves-in-the-americas/

Also how England dealt with their orphan problem.
Great great great grandson of an indentured servant here. Will never feel white guilt for anything
Welcome fellow traveler :)
My family on one side was relocated to Canada by England from Ireland, I will never buy into this garbage either.:)

Yep, it's how the English cleared out their jails and poorhouses.
And cleaned out Ireland as well
Oh that darn thing called History....
I know.... pesky facts
TRUE FACTS ARE THE ONES THE LEFT LOVES TO OMIT.
Things that happened are racist!

I was just about to ask if this covered the Irish. Because, you know, they were the actual first slaves in this country.

I need muh Reparations.
He seems nice
MULTIRACIAL WHITE SUPREMACY REEEEEEEEEEEE
He was taught well about enslavement from his home continent of Africa.
So he was black, so what, and slavery was legal, so what?

not about one race or the other, its about owning 1619 libtards, which ironically he was one of those first blacks to arrive in 1619
Yet it was legal at the time, was legal worldwide and practiced at the time worldwide. To attack people for having a slave once it was a crime is one thing to attack the long dead when it was common practice and legal to me is ridiculous.

Where Black people go, slavery follows. This is the same with muslims interestingly enough.
Yup Black people legalized slavery in the US.
That's not Anthony Johnson. That's Lewis Hayden, who escaped slavery to become an ardent abolitionist and later was elected to Congress.
Kind of weird, if you Google Anthony Johnson, it uses the same picture for him.
Yeah, just one of those internet misconceptions. I couldn't find any actual pictures of Johnson. I guess he wasn't significant enough to warrant a portrait.
BLM: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
i think we need more of this. embrace the black history month nonsense. Ima read as many thomas sowell books as i can.
We need much more of this.

Important video, see this before it gets memory-holed: 33 Fun Facts about Slavery! (And should we apologize for it?) <-- Hell no! At most, only 4% or less actually owned slaves, North + South combined, and those were the wealthiest who were able to afford slaves. In this text version of the video topic, Jim Goad says the true figure is more like 1.5%. Further recommended reading from Jim Goad: The Redneck Manifesto is a priceless source of Red Pills and True History Facts, extensively researched with footnotes.
