Most property owners ie had a plot of land could not afford a slave... they worked that land themselves and then forced their 6 kids do it for them.
Sick part you “borrow slaves from what was called New York stock exchange. Then sell a slave or get collateral.
Yeah going down that rabbit whole really does expose how "white washed" even current understanding of slavery by the normie stream is... shit was whole different level vile that teevee won't really cover.
Right, but take the converse: if they didn't own land, they definitely couldn't afford a slave.
also true... wiki will explain it better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necessity_and_sufficiency
owning a plantation is necessary to be a slaver but it is not sufficient since you actually have to own the slaves.
