John Lansing Jr., an American lawyer and politician from New York in the late 18th century, did not own slaves himself. However, his family was involved in the slave economy, as was common in many parts of New York during that time. The state gradually moved towards emancipation, and Lansing's political career coincided with the changing attitudes toward slavery in the early 19th century.
