Blacks did not own slaves in America. There is ZERO evidence of that anywhere in the United States.

Mr. Koger reports that by 1840, South Carolina boasted 454 Negro masters with 2,357 slaves. Although only about one in five white households In the South owned slaves, approximately 75 percent of the free black heads of household in the state owned slaves. Many former slaves did not regard slavery as a malevolent institution but as an economic opportunity, and had no qualms about buying other blacks once they were able to. Blacks generally bought, owned, and sold other blacks for economic reasons, just as whites did.
