The average person didn't own slaves, only the rich owned slaves.actually, by the time of the civil war, the vast majority of soldiers that fought for the confederacy didn't own slaves, but the rich business owners and many politicians did. A very sad time In deed.

The number of slaves that a slave owner owned depended on the size of his plantation. He may have owned a dozen or so, or he may have owned hundreds of slaves.
