AFAIK, in 1860 about 20% of families in the slave states owned slaves. Lots of those were probably relatively poor farmers - slaves or no, small farmers in the 19th century weren’t that wealthy. Also, since when does the Christian god condemn entire family lines? Is slavery even forbidden by the bible?

Owning slaves was like owning a tractor. Your ancestors werent rich they were just lazy. Like you and your dad, who’s a Wendy’s manager at 57.
