I had friends in Louissianna who told me there were three Black slave owners in three different plantations. The plaques and names are there on a tour of plantations. You won't find this info. in books and I want to know about these three slave owners. Thankyou.

According to federal census reports, on June 1, 1860 there were nearly 4.5 million Negroes in the United States, with fewer than four million of them living in the southern slaveholding states. Of the blacks residing in the South, 261,988 were not slaves. Of this number, 10,689 lived in New Orleans. The country's leading African American historian, Duke University professor John Hope Franklin, records that in New Orleans over 3,000 free Negroes owned slaves, or 28 percent of the free Negroes in that city.
