For the record, in 1860 there were 391,000 white slaveowners in the U.S. (1.5% of the white population, or 7% of the southern white population) alongside the 3,000 Black slaveowners (0.6% of the Black population, or 0.6% of the southern Black population) and 1,500 Native American slaveowners (0.4% of the Native population, or 3% of the southern Native population). For those keeping score, that means 98.9% of slaveowners were white, 0.8% were Black, and 0.3% were Native American. White slaveowners owned 4.0 million slaves (99.4%) while Black slaveowners owned 20,000 (0.5%) and Native American slaveowners owned 7,000 (0.1%). In addition, 42% of the slaves owned by Black owners in 1860 were their spouses or children who were kept as slaves in order to keep the family together in states that legally prohibited their manumission.
