The quarter of a million figure is much higher than the one I learned at the University of Alabama. I doubt very much that it is accurate.
There were also about 200 free Blacks across the South who owned slaves. Many free Blacks lived in coastal areas. Here in Alabama, Horace Mann was a well known free Black who was a bride builder/engineer.

"There were actually more free blacks in the South than there were in the North during these years," Berlin said. First time I've heard that statistic.
