The answer is Virginia. Virginia was the first colony that legalized slavery in 1661.

 

EXPLANATION

 

Slavery cases in Virginia had happened since 1619. First, the white indentured servants were the ones who worked at the company for labor. After August 1619, the Africans started to come to Virginia. They came because they were brought by the frigate “White Lion”, or also known as a privateer ship. The ship was owned by a man named Robert Rich. Originally, there were only 20 Africans that were seized by the British crew.

 

Virginia was the first colony that passed the law for every free person to have their own slaves. A lot of other laws regarding slavery continued to be applied until the 17th century. It was then codified into the first slave code in Virginia. There was also a law that stated that children would take their mother’s social status, regardless of who their fathers were. This law results affected the people for years. There were generation after generation enslaved persons, and also some mixed-raced children.

 

A lot of the slaves were actually being freed after the law of enslavement in 1661. The freedom of some slaves was obtained by escape, or purchasing the freedom of themselves, or even by the kind hearts of their masters. The masters might free the slaves because they began to have family-type ties.  

 

Anthony Johnson was the first Africans to be freed from enslavement because he bought his own freedom. Soon after that, he also freed his own family by purchasing their freedom. Later on, Johnson had his own land and grew tobacco for a living.
