yes, there were black slave owners. They were being enslaved by the states of the pretended confederacy during the insurrection. It was the policy of the pretended confederacy to restore Americans of african descent to what they regarded as the rightful position of servitude.

Just as free blacks in North Carolina were permitted to vote until 1835, and denied the vote after that. The slave power changed the rules as necessary to benefit the large wealthy slave owners who dominated the southern state governments.
