Video Discription |
In the 1830 U.S. census, 3,776 free blacks owned 12,907 black slaves, predominantly in port cities like Savannah, Ga.; Charleston, S.C.; and New Orleans. We also know that several free black women owned slaves, and that in 1850 Charleston, at least, women were a majority of black slave owners. In most cases, the persons “owned” were spouses, children or siblings the owners were attempting to protect and, if possible, liberate. However, there were many who were slave owners who were also very good at business, such as Marie Thérèse Coincoin. She was a Louisiana Creole born into slavery August 1742 in Natchitoches Parish. Written and Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.
