The factual number based on statistics is 5.8%. This number balloons to the twentieth percentile, when those who have an agenda try to say everybody in the household who lives with the head of household(Slave Owner) is an owner as well. Also, you have to remember, if one slave owner had 300 slaves they spread this number amongst the entire southern population, so automatically 299 whites that didn't own slaves now owned at least one. People need to get past this era in order to move on, if you keep rehashing it, it will never go away. Just about every race in history has been enslaved at one point or another. Only about 1% of the population lived like Scarlet O'hare on a big southern plantation, most lived in squalor in the backwoods.
