I’m asking you, would you have wanted to be a black male in the antebellum south? So is the subtext of your question that blacks were better off on the plantation?

If I told you you could live to be 70 years old on a plantation and have many grand children or be dead at age 17 dealing drugs and gang banging which would you chose?

There were many black slave owners in the South or did you miss that in your history books? When Ruffin caned Stevens on the floor of Congress, it was the black slave owners of Charleston that presented Ruffin with a new cane to carry with him back to Congress.
