How many Southerners actually owned slaves when the American Civil War began?

Fewer than one in five Southerners actually owned slaves when the American Civil War began. Of these, most owned one or two slaves. About 8,000 land owners, fewer than one in a thousand of the people living in slave states, owned 50 or more.

That’s a lot of slaves for personal use. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
