Prior to slavery, there were "indentured servants" - whites predominantly from Germany, Britain and the Barbary Coast, and blacks predominantly from Africa. One of the indentured servants from Africa, Anthony Johnson ( a black man), after working off his servitude, went to court for the right to own another black man. He became was is commonly known as the first slave owner. Would slavery have ever happened if it wasn't for Mr. Johnson?
The north only allowed slavery for about 10 years. During the civil war, when a white Republican freed the slaves, thousands of black families owned slaves, the natives owned tens of thousands of slaves, and whites and others owned slaves. During the civil war, about 300,000 whites and 25,000 blacks from the north, gave their lives to get rid of slavery.
Barrack Obama's ancestors were slave owners.
Slavery was wrong. I hope we can all agree on that.
