The first black man to become a slave in America was an indentured servant that his master did not want to set free after his 7 years of service. This happen not in the south, but in the north (Maryland). Also, he was not retained as a slave for life by a white man, but a black man. Yep! The first American slave was owned by a freed African servant. confederatecolonel/2010/05/the-anthony-johnson-story/
