Don't forget the black slave owners in Charleston and down in the Louisiana regions. Have provided the documentation before and will do so again this evening but the fact is that there were some very rich black slave owners that used slaves not to save their lives but to line their pockets

Yes they did. My goodness, across the entire Confederacy, I'd bet there must have been six or seven hundred black slave owners, some of them wealthy. But then again, there were six or seven million blacks who spent the lives in chains.

Why in God's name do you think the fact that some small number of blacks owned slaves somehow justifies slavery and legitimizes the tragedy and slaughter the corrupt Southern Slaveocracy brought upon this country? That is the ultimate in moral relativism.
