The numbers given are false. The source cited, "The Historical Encyclopedia of World Slavery", by Junius Rodriguez, says that there were about 5,000 Jews who owned slaves in 1860, about 1.25% of Southern slaveowners. The other sources make that about 2-3% of Jews. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-population-in-the-united-states-nationally
