Not strictly accurate.
There were at least 4 white slaveholders in Louisiana, in the 1860 census, who held 650 or more slaves.
The largest slaveholdings of Louisiana free people of color were in the 100 to 150 range, although there were several (one of the wealthiest men in Louisiana was a suger planter in Iberville Parish, Antoine Dubuclet, a free person of color, who owned approximately 100 slaves, although several were family members.)
Dubuclet was only one of two blacks to serve as State Treasurer during Reconstruction.
