America
From the article:
By 1830 there were 3,775 black families living in the South who owned black slaves. By 1860 there were about 3,000 slaves owned by black households in the city of New Orleans alone.

This is a fact conveniently obliterated in the rewriting of U.S. history, beginning in the late 1950's to early '60's. Just as the plight of the thousands and thousands of white "indentured servants" has been ignored. These facts are too embarrassing to race hustlers, who are getting rich off white American guilt. And let's not get started on the American Indian tribes that kept slaves long after the Emancipation Proclamation, despite our efforts to change their slave culture.
