Original Note:
This 1.6% figure is comparing slave owners with the entire US population at the time, which included the free states, where slavery was illegal, and the slaves themselves. In the confederacy, 5.67% of free individuals owned slaves and 30.8% of free families owned slaves. https://socialequity.duke.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/8.10.20.pdf
