The first recorded slave owner in American history is often cited as a man named Anthony Johnson, an African man who was brought to Virginia in the early 17th century. He was initially an indentured servant but later acquired land and owned slaves, including a man named John Casor, who became one of the first legally recognized slaves in the English colonies in 1654. Johnson's case highlights the complex history of slavery in America, where the institution evolved over time.
