98% of Confederate soldiers were not slave owners, and were often in worse shape than slaves were as far as working conditions, hours, etc., so no. .

The TD Confederate apologists / revisionists are out early in the morning.

Without even looking at your misleading 98% stat I can tell you that nearly a third(30% or so) of Southern Households owned slaves(nearly 50% of families in some states) . "Technically" because a young man or woman's name isn't on the bill of sale or deed doesn't mean they didn't abuse nor benefit off the backs of their slaves.

I am quite sure most 18/19/20 year old Privates in Iraq or Afghanistan didn't own much either just like their Civil War counterparts . When you peel back the layers of your misleading bullshite I bet the numbers more properly reflect these young men came from slaveowning families.


In some cases all of the men in the slaveowning family left for war , but I bet not many of them 'technically'(deed) owned the slaves themselves . Father, Grandfather ,Uncle & other family members 'owned' the slaves.

Just because White women(wives) didn't personally own the slaves doesn't mean they didn't benefit from them, abuse them or have a stake in slavery. Just because the fighting age sons(heirs) weren't old enough to personally 'own' slaves doesn't mean they didn't abuse ,rape nor benefit from their family owning them.


Just like the only 5 or 6% of Southerners owened slaves is BS so are your stats.
