Who started african slavery?

Answer 1

Nobody "started" slavery, it has been a part of the human condition since cave man days. When someone would conquer another, the conqueror would take some of the conquered as slaves.

The first Africans were brought to an English colony in 1619. A Dutch slave ship which had been trying to get to Spanish territory got blown off course and put in at Jamestown. They sold their human cargo there. The English settlers did not actually enslave those Africans though. Instead they made indentured servants of them and when their indentures were up the Africans were given land and tools just like any English indentured servant. Some things I have read say they were even given the right to vote. After that, more slavers began putting in to Jamestown but the English gradually changed the nature of the indentures, making them longer and longer for the Africans until finally they just started enslaving them outright.

That does explain U.S. Historical slave trading. Slavery has been apart of civilization since the beginning of civilization or perhaps before. (civilization came later at first man just roamed free) Anyway, there were slaves in Egypt thousands of years ago known as the Israelites; today's Jewish people. Before that slavery most certainly existed and there is no way to pinpoint the first slave or first slave trader etc.

Antao Goncalves and Nuno Tristao are considered to be the first Europeans to have obtained black slaves from Africa in 1441.

Anthony c. Edwards was a black man and he had dated all the fine white people.But the whites did not like it so they seporated whites from blacks and now think thought the whites where better than than blacks so they treated blacks diffrent.

Answer 3

Inter-African slavery dates back for thousands of years when various tribes fought, captured and made slaves out of their enemies. The trading of slaves flourished throughout the African continent and eventually made its way east to the Arab world and the Indian ocean in the 10th century. In the 14th century, the Portuguese became the first Europeans to engage in the slave trade. The Spanish were the first to use slaves in the New World in the 1500s. European nations began banning slave trade in the late 1700s and the US formally banned the transport of slaves in 1820.

No, The first registered slave owner was Anthony Johnson in around 1670's. He died around 1696. When he first arrived on American shores, he had no last name. Just Anthony. So he registered in the census as only Anthony the negro. That's right! He was Black. The first slave owner was African American. The slaves were, at first, endentured servants. There were whites, hispanics latinos, blacks, chineese endentured servants who later became his slaves.

Democrats wanted the slave trade to continue because it was a form of revenue from taxes for government. Democrats founded the KKK after the Republicans freed the slaves. They lynched and killed white and black Republicans. Nearly 100% Blacks were Republicans. Since 1866 to 1964, 3500 Blacks and 1700 Whites were lynched & killed by Democrats. Democrats blocked the Civil Rigts Act in 1957. LBJ was a Senate Majority Leader and later became President and passed the Republican Bill into law in 1964. Democrats took credit. The reason so many Blacks are registered Democrats is out of Fear and Ignorance.

Woodrow Wilson segregated the Blacks and Whites, kicked out Black politicians, stuck 'em in delapitated neighborhoods and kept them out of the way. See the history of the Democrats deceptions.
