About half of all slaveholders owned fewer than five enslaved people, but the wealthiest planters with dozens or hundreds held a disproportionate share (Fogel & Engerman, Time on the Cross, 1974; though some of their conclusions are debated, the census data is reliable).

Roughly 4 million people were enslaved in 1860, making up about 13% of the total U.S. population and nearly 40% of the South’s population (Berlin, Generations of Captivity, 2003). ⬇️

In states like Mississippi and South Carolina, over 45% of white households owned enslaved people (U.S. Census of 1860; see also Hoke & Engerman, Journal of Economic History, 1977). ⬇️
