This sure disrupts the narrative.
The Guardianistas are going to have a meltdown. They think only Americans engaged in slavery.
If you think this disrupts the narrative read about ‘Anthony Johnson’ on Wiki. In 1655 in the colony of Virginia a court ruled in favor of Mr. Johnson, a free black, who was trying to regain possession of John Casor, an indentured black. It was the first judicial finding that an indentured servant could be held for life as a slave; established in a case brought by a black.
