Here's a link to the percentage of slaveowning families in southern states per the 1860 census. MS was 49% and SC 46%.

You realize there were thousands of slave owning blacks. Over 3,000 blacks in New Orleans alone who were slave owners. There were black slave breeders too.

“You realize there were thousands of slave owning blacks. Over 3,000 blacks in New Orleans alone who were slave owners. There were black slave breeders too.”

That is too politically incorrect to speak of, in the modern times.

I realize that. The practice of human slavery by blacks was morally abhorrent, as was the practice of human slavery by whites. It's morally abhorrent where practiced today.
