[QUOTE="Diamond7, post: 77179457, member: 446615"] Depends on the state. Also usually only one person in a family actually "owned" the "slaves". According to the Census of 1860, 30.8 percent of the free families in the confederacy owned slaves. That means that every third white person in those states had a direct commitment to slavery. Even if it were only one percent, all the more I wonder why the other 99% was not doing something about it. Even if the slaves were considered to be a part of the family. They do a lot now to make sure that there is no abuse like that going on in a family. People can get up to 12 years in jail. [/QUOTE]
