Yes he was a slave owner, but in that time, what white man of power wasn't.

What black man of power wasn't? Slavery was common among Europeans, Persians, North Africans, Sub-Saharan Africans, Arabs, American Indians, actual Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Mayans, Aztecs, Icelanders, and Mongols. In short, EVERY people in the world were slavers.

And slavery was a good thing. Life was so labor intensive that without taking slaves there would have been no opportunity for people to invent and create. Without slavery there would be no modernity. It was necessary for advancement. Sucked for the slaves, though.
