Original Note:
The first slave owner in US History was a black man by the name of Anthony Johnson. While many black abolitionists were activists prior to emancipation - it wasn’t until white abolitionists joined the movement that ultimately influenced Abraham Lincoln to end slavery. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/abolitionists-films-principal-characters/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Johnson_(colonist)
