Answer:

In 1677, Anthony and Mary's grandson, John Jr., purchased a 44-acre (18-hectare) farm which he named Angola. John Jr. died without leaving an heir, however. By 1730, the Johnson family had vanished from the historical records.

Answer:

Explanation:Johnson's descendants, who were classified as black, were stripped of the property they inherited from him. A system of slavery in which enslavement was lifelong, hereditary, and based solely on race was established in the colonies in the beginning of the 18th century.
