Original Note:
The claims in the image are false. In 1830, there were 4 Jews among the 11K Southerners who owned 50+ slaves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_views_on_slavery 83% of Jewish households in Charleston owned slaves, comparable to the 87% of non-Jewish white. https://jewishnc.org/did-north-carolina-jews-own-slaves/ Jewish involvement in the transatlantic slave trade was minimal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_views_on_slavery
