William Ellison owned had the most slaves of any BLACK slave owners in SOUTH Carolina, meaning he owned 53 at the most, 40 when he died.

The number you cite from 1830 included free blacks who purchased the freedom of family members and were then legally considered their owner. Either way, 12,740 slaves is less than 1% of the total.

So quit trying to deflect blame from white slave owners with horse [BLEEP].

Of all slaves in America they only counted for 5% of the global african slave trade and nearly 100% of the global african slave trade were originally offered by other Africans.  The euro-centric view of slavery is actually pretty childish for an institution that traces back through all recorded history.
