Most whites didn't own slaves in the south. Only a few thousand made up the plantation elite, the census of 1850 shows that 1000 families at that time received $50,000,000.00 in yearly income, the other families, about 660,000 received about $60,000,000.00 a year or a median family income of $100.00.
Kinda like the way it is now. btw. that's the federal census of 1850 I'm referring to. Poor whites made about thirty cents a day, while slaves received 20 cents a day in board. At those rates I don't think anyone was stealing anyone.
What do you think, or is there somewhere else I should be looking?
