1 янв 1640 г. - This is the moment when Virginia began transforming into a slavery society.

Описание:

The 1640 sentencing of John Punch was the first
clear legal distinction between Black and white
laborers. Though all three men ran away, only
Punch—because he was Black—was sentenced to
lifetime servitude. This marked the beginning of
race-based slavery in Virginia and set a legal
precedent that tied African descent to permanent
slavery, a defining feature of a slavery society.
