Black Slave Owners

It is commonly believed that all slave owners in the United States were white. This is untrue. [11]

In 1860 there were at least six blacks in Louisiana who owned 65 or more slaves The largest number, 152 slaves, were owned by the widow C. Richards and her son P.C. Richards, who owned a large sugar cane plantation. Another black slave magnate in Louisiana, with over 100 slaves, was Antoine Dubuclet, a sugar planter whose estate was valued at (in 1860 dollars) $264,000 [12]. That year, the mean wealth of southern white men was $3,978 .[13]

In Charleston, South Carolina in 1860 125 free blacks owned slaves; six of them owning 10 or more. Of the $1.5 million in taxable property owned by free blacks in Charleston, more than $300,000 represented slave holdings. In North Carolina 69 free blacks were slave owners. [14]

In 1847, a black slave owner, William Ellison, owned over 350 acres, and more than 900 by 1860. He raised mostly cotton, with a small acreage set asidHeres a food for thought white people?
There are still countries that allow slave-like relationships to exist between the have's and the have-not's.



I don't feel guilty as my family came to America as indentured servants, which was nothing more than a slave.



Slavery has existed in one form or another for nearly the entire human history. I would doubt there are few people on the earth who do not have a history of some sort of subjugation.



Such is life, sometimes it sucks, sometimes it doesn't.
Oh, Shut up.

You're trying to say that blacks owned slaves so you can justify what the MILLIONS of whites have done to blacks for over two centuries. How can you justify the beatings, the killings, the rapings, etc with "on a few couple blacks owned slaves" you cannot justify the civil rights era with this either. Just because there were black slave owners doesn't fix the fact that millions of africans were sold into slavery and killed because their skin color.

Sit down, and shut up.Heres a food for thought white people?
They probably bought their own relatives to reunite their family. Or they had a plan to rescue other slaves from the brutal treatment they were receiving. sheesh man who was you history teacher...All that research you dug up dutifully with nothing provocative to implement. i'm done-fighting ignorance is like weed whacking all that work and it just keeps coming back. a strenuous battle.
