I had ancestors who fought in that war. None owned a slave. They were too busy making a living for their families. Sometimes that included several generations. The wife of a cousin and I have done loads of research which back up that statement. My great grandfather could not fight due to a physical disability so he made shoes for the soldiers from his area of MS. I was reading a story a few weeks ago. A very small percentage owned slaves and that included blacks. Do some research.
