What was the difference between later slavery and the slavery of the group that went to Jamestown in 1619?
The difference is that slavery had always existed far before slavey in the U.S. People could become slaves or feudal slaves if they owed a debt in which they would work for a specified number of years then be released but even though they were slaves they still had certain rights. "New World' slavery was different in that the slaves were "chattel" and dehumanized. They were forced to work under more than extreme conditions, they were considered property, and most times lost their lives. This idea of slavery is known as "social death." Far more harh and brutal!

Was James Longstreet for slavery?
No. Although Longstreet was raised by his uncle, who was a state's rights advocate, James Longstreet did not support slavery. It is believed that the Longstreet family owned some slaves, but there is no evidence that James Longstreet himself ever owned a slave. Longstreet was a career military man and thought slavery was an evil institution. He mainly joined the Confederacy because the state of Alabama paid for his schooling at West Point and felt that he owed them. After the war, he became a Republican and actively supported civil and voting rights for African-Americans, which angered many Southerners. He spoke out against racism and did everything he could to end white supremacy. When he lived in Louisiana, President Grant (who was a very close friend to Longstreet since their days at West Point) allowed Longstreet to use African-American troops to stop the the violence there.

Could a plantation owner bill the government for the loss of his plantation and his slaves that escaped during the Civil War?
Plantation owners who suffered damage to their plantations during the Civil War were not owed compensation, because the rebellion, having failed, was deemed to be illegal (had the Confederacy won, it might have chosen to compensate plantation owners). Damage sustained in the course of an illegal rebellion is the fault of those who illegally rebelled. Similarly, former slave owners were not compensated for the loss of their slaves, because the United States no longer recognized that slavery was legal or acceptable; slavery was ended as a morally objectionable practice. It was the slaves who deserved compensation for their unpaid labor, and not the slave owners for the crime of enslaving human beings.
