actually the percentage of slave-ownership in BOTH the Union & CSA military forces was about the same (as was the percentage of slave owners, as a percentage of the northern/southern populations).

the percentage of slavers in BOTH regions was about 5-6%.ALSO, one of the "uncomfortable facts" about slavers was that there were MANY Black slave-owners & free Black slave overseers

bet they didn't teach you THAT in school!

You forgot to mention the Indians (Native Americans) who owned slaves. I didnt learn that in school either , but I did learn it.
