[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4103389, member: 18222"] That's not new ... it's well known. I doubt if it was 1/3 but at least a hundred. [URL='https://www.theroot.com/did-black-people-own-slaves-1790895436']Henry Louis Gates article[/URL] - ... for a time, free black people could even "own" the services of white indentured servants in Virginia as well. Free blacks owned slaves in Boston by 1724 and in Connecticut by 1783; by 1790, 48 black people in Maryland owned 143 slaves. One particularly notorious black Maryland farmer named Nat Butler "regularly purchased and sold Negroes for the Southern trade," Halliburton wrote. [/QUOTE]
