Do you think that yankees only purchased slaves in 1800? They did so in 1799, 1798, 1797 and decades further back, and in 1801, 1802, 1803 and up to the war. Oh, so to get "millions of yankees", you count the same yankees every year, huh? I guess that would put the number of southern slave owners in the billions.
