John Casor (surname also recorded as Cazara and Corsala), a servant in Northampton County in the Virginia Colony, in 1654 became the first person of African descent in the Thirteen Colonies to be declared by the county court a slave for life. In one of the earliest freedom suits, Casor argued that he was an indentured servant who had been forced to serve past his term. The court sustained the right of free blacks to own slaves, and ordered Casor returned to his master for life.
