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.
