Original Note:
In 1860, there were about 15,000 Southern Jews and 4 million slaves. If 75 percent were so owned, this would mean 200 slaves for every Jewish man, woman and child, or 1,000 slaves for every Jewish head of household. Jews owned less then 1 percent of the enslaved population. https://www.nytimes.com/1994/02/14/opinion/l-jews-had-negligible-role-in-slave-trade-183202.html
