Many historians say there were more slaves owned by black or mixed race slave owners than white.
In 1830 there were 13,000 slaves, out of 2,000,000, owned by black men.
I think that’s a good deal less than a majority.

You can find all kinds of information on the subject, I caution anyone interested in the subject to look at several sources, many are obviously pro one way or the other. You might want to peruse this site, http://people.uwec.edu/ivogeler/w188/south/charles/charles3.htm, which puts some numbers on the issue.
I said many historians, I don’t claim who is right. Because one says it doesn’t make it right, likely the census is our best friend here.
Your site just lines up with mine.
Any historian who says blacks owned more slaves than whites is simply wrong.
According to the 1830 census, they owned 0.65% of all slaves.
