Are you saying that blacks did not own slaves themselves?

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Guess what? The first slaves in VA were brought in by a black guy (I forgot his name). He had been brought in as an indentured servant as many folks who came to America were, and after he served his time, he got a whole bunch of acres and brought in VA's first slaves to work on his land.

There were also black slaveowners in the Civil War.

How on earth did you get that from a post that documented how succession and the Civil War was in fact about slavery?
