The North couldn't say much about indentured servants.

it's estimated that a small, but significant, percentage of slave owners in the United States were Black.


Free blacks were twice as likely to own slaves as white people were in NOLA, in 1860 an estimated 28% of free blacks owned slaves vs 12% of whites.
