How many black slave owners were there in comparison to white slave owners prior to the Civil War?
It is a comparison between 1830 and 1860. The US population during this time nearly tripled. The ratio of free blacks to total population remained consistent at about 10% during this time. So at a minimum, comparing 1830 to 1860, 3775 of 393,975, or 1% of slaveholders were black. Scaling the 1830 total for the increase in population, perhaps up to 3% of slaveholders were black. The ratio of slaveholders to population was roughly stable at around 1.5% during this period.
In a 30-minute search, neither the total number of slaveholders in 1830 nor the total number of black slaveholders in 1860 could be located. The census documents are publicly available, so this might be a nice project to tally them up.
