The first slave owner on American soil was black.

It was blacks who brought slavery to the US and blacks who demanded it be protected by law. African Anthony Johnson demanded that the court of the Virginia Colony declare a fellow African, John Casor, not an indentured servant but a "servant for life." Europe didn't have a system of slavery but Africa did - and it was robust - and it included enslaving whites long before the first blacks arrived in the Americas.

On March 8, 1655, the court of the Virginia Colony sided with Anthony Johnson legalizing slavery in the US.

Ironically Johnson, who had been a slave in Angola when sold to Europeans by his chief, was brought to the US as an indentured servant and freed when his term was up. He went on to become a major property holder in the US with white and black indentured servants.

This meant that laws were created to uphold and regulate the ownership and treatment of enslaved individuals, leading to their exploitation and dehumanization.

How long have the European been involved in slaves?

Almost all organized societies have had institutionalized slavery at some point in their history. Europeans held other europeans as slaves long before ancient Greek civilization. It was the norm in every area of Europe. Slavery was found throughour Africa since ancient times, and there are still African slaves owned by other Africans today. Slavery was institutionalized in most parts of Asia until fairly recently. Slavery existed in pre-Colombian North and South America. It was universal, and still exists in a few places now. It is a grave and sometimes self-serving myth to portray slavery as a particularly European phenomenon. For the record, I am not descended from europeans, but my ancestors were both slaves and slave owners. This is true of the vast majority of the human race.


What was the relationship between slavery and sectional feeling and what was the relationship between slavery and other issues in the 1850s?

First of all their was not a relationship.... it was an institution. The feeling about this institution was both mixed and accepted. It probably was accepted because the Christian world did not speak out openly against it. And during this period of our American history, it was not clearly understood about the negative aspects, that was to come out of slavery. Slavery and the issues that it brought up were huge....... When something is institutionalized, it becomes a part of you. And slavery became a large part of the American foundation from the South to the North.
