I don't consider 3000 of the 4.5 million living in the USA in 1860 a "large number."
Reading comprehension.....is a bitch huh.
I wouldn't know.
New Orleans is in the USA, but New Orleans is not THE USA.
It was one of the very few places sited in the article as home to any black slaveholders.
Once again, it would probably be a good idea to work on your critical thinking skills before faulting anyone else.
Yes New Orleans is in the USA. But out of the 4.5 million blacks in the ENTIRE U.S., 3000 of them in ONE city owned slaves. And you didn't read the article. It spoke of black slave owners in South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia as well as the 3000 out of 10,689 blacks that lived in New Orleans.
You really should work on your reading comprehension skills.
