Dubuclet seldom owned fewer than 100 slaves, at the time of the 1860 Census he owned 384, and he specialized in buying runaway or "recalcitrant" males, "breaking" them (you don't want to know how) and re-selling them to the Rice Plantations, where the average life expectancy was about four months! M. Dubuclet owned one of the largest Sugar Plantations in Louisiana, and was renowned as a "stern Taskmaster". He also maintained a rotating "harem" of twenty or so attractive young female slaves, reportedly preferring "Quadroons" or "Octaroons" as his personal servants. <br /><br />He was a highly respected member of New Orleans Society, and donated generously toward the arming and equipping of Volunteer Regiments. He himself held an Honorary "Colonelcy" in the Louisiana State Militia until his death in early 1864. <br /><br />I'm also sure that you are aware that, in the years immediately prior to the start of The War, the slaves stolen in Missouri by raiding "Jayhawkers" could not be sold at will in Kansas (unlike horses, cattle, chickens, underwear and other purloined items) but could only be disposed of at the Market designated by the Legislature in Atchison, Kansas! At one time (in 1859) that was the third largest Slave Market in the US! And it, too was operated by a Freedman.<br /><br />But of course you already knew that.

Halliburton shows that free black people have owned slaves "in each of the thirteen original states and later in every state that countenanced slavery," at least since Anthony Johnson and his wife Mary went to court in Virginia in 1654 to obtain the services of their indentured servant, a black man, John Castor, for life.<br /><br />And for a time, free black people could even "own" the services of white indentured servants in Virginia as well. Free blacks owned slaves in Boston by 1724 and in Connecticut by 1783; by 1790, 48 black people in Maryland owned 143 slaves. One particularly notorious black Maryland farmer named Nat Butler "regularly purchased and sold Negroes for the Southern trade," Halliburton wrote.<br /><br />So blacks had white slaves as well......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-87824498689666492832017-08-17T17:13:39.476-05:002017-08-17T17:13:39.476-05:00Maybe we should leave these decisions to the peopl...Maybe we should leave these decisions to the people who live here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-40621470946473514282017-08-17T17:12:00.660-05:002017-08-17T17:12:00.660-05:00Peter Gogol, he changed his last name from goebbel...Peter Gogol, he changed his last name from goebbells!
