Original Note:
No reliable sources or historical records suggest such a high percentage of slave owners were Jewish. During the period of slavery, Jews constituted only a very small fraction of the American population, and no evidence suggests they were a significant share of slave owners. https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/jews-and-the-african-slave-trade/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Relationship_Between_Blacks_and_Jews
