7 FACTS about Slavery they DON’T want You to Know

Here are 7 Facts about slavery that you aren't being taught in school or by the Elitists on the Left. 

1.  One of the first legal slave owners in American history was a black tobacco farmer named Anthony Johnson.

“One of the few recorded histories of an African in America that we can glean from early court records is that of ‘Antonio the negro,’ as he was named in the 1625 Virginia census. He was brought to the colony in 1621. At this time, English and Colonial law did not define racial slavery; the census calls him not a slave but a ‘servant.’  Later, Antonio changed his name to Anthony Johnson, married an African American servant named Mary, and they had four children. Mary and Anthony also became free, and he soon owned land and cattle and even indentured servants of his own. By 1650, Anthony was still one of only 400 Africans in the colony among nearly 19,000 settlers. In Johnson's own county, at least 20 African men and women were free, and 13 owned their own homes.”   - Excerpt from a PBS.org series on slavery.

2.  North Carolina's largest slaveholder in 1860 was a black plantation owner named William Ellison.

"After his emancipation, William moved to Stateburg, South Carolina and became an apprentice for Mr. William McCreight.  After four years of hard labor William Ellison was ready to start his won business as a gin maker.  The first few years he primarily repaired gins, but each year his customers and reputation grew.  Between June 8, 1816 and January 1817, William (then April) purchased and freed his wife Matilda and his daughter Eliza Ann and brought them to Stateburg.  His son Henry was born in or near Stateburg in January 1817, followed two years later by William Jr.  and in another two years by Reuben. 
By 1820 Ellison had managed to buy his first two slaves, two males, ages twenty-six and forty-five respectively.  With the purchase of the two slaves he demonstrated to the local Whites that he was not afraid to own, use and exploit slave labor.  In just four short years he was a master gin maker, had changed his name and was now a slave OWNER."  - Excerpt from SlaveRebellion.org

3.  “THE OFFICIAL U.S. CENSUS OF 1830: 3,775 free Negroes owned 12,740 Negro slaves.  Of the 10,689 free Blacks who lived in New Orleans in 1830, more than 3,000 were slave masters. Almost 30% of the free blacks in that city owned slaves.   -  Excerpt from a report on the website of Black Preacher and Radio Show host, Ben Kinchlow.

4.  Many black slaves were allowed to hold jobs, own businesses, and owned real estate.

5.  Brutal black on black slavery was common in Africa for thousands of years and STILL is today.

6.  Most slaves brought to America from Africa were purchased from black slave owners.

7.  White people ended legal chattel slavery in the Christian World.

There is no denying that within the practice of "slavery" and "indentured servanthood", there were many injustices and atrocities committed and there still are ...  But NOT in this nation nor in the rest of the Christian nations of the world.  No, only in China, India, some African nations, and Muslim countries do you STILL find it practiced against Blacks AND Whites. 

These are the facts that the race pimps and the race whores don't want you to know.  They gain power and make too much money off of creating division and hatred.  I’m not the first to make this observation, in fact, I would like to share something from a famous Black American’s perspective and I quote:

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.   Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays.   Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”   - Booker T. Washington  

The distinguished Mr. Washington wrote these words in 1911, but they are still true and as dead on accurate today as they were then. 

Don't know who Booker T. Washington was?   Well here's a little about him.   Booker Taliaferro Washington was an educator, author, orator and advisor to presidents of the United States.  Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African-American community.   It is too bad we don't have more leaders like him in the African-American community today.  God, please send us another Booker T.  We need another speaker of truth like him in our midst TODAY.
