Communist-infiltrated "educaton" systems won't teach about these:
By 1860, Ellison owned over 900 acres of land, as well as 63 slaves. According to the census of 1860, Ellison was one of 171 black slaveholders in South Carolina. His home in Stateburg, which had previously belonged to former governor, Stephen Miller, still stands today. http://archive.today/y4ALw

It is a shock to some that there were blacks who owned black slaves.
This should not be a surprise. Up until the latter half of the 19th century, slavery was universal. Most societies practiced some form of enslavement, indentureship, serfdom or other forms of forced servitude.
Some black slave owners were former indentured servants or slaves.
An early example was Anthony Johnson. Sometime in the mid-1650s, Johnson, who was black, forced John Casor into slavery. Johnson had served his own indentureship, acquired property and his freedom and hired indentured servants, among whom was Casor. Johnson fought successfully in the courts of Virginia in the United States for Casor to become his slave when the latter wanted to leave his service, asserting he had completed his indentureship.
A well-known example is William Ellison. Formerly enslaved, Ellison gained his freedom, purchased property, owned slaves and became one of the wealthiest men in Louisiana. He owned approximately 1,000 acres of land and several dozen enslaved persons at his death.
-Another was Anna Kingsley of Florida, African wife of a white plantation owner. Formerly enslaved by the man who became her husband, she became a landowner and slaveholder in her own right. https://archive.is/wip/MpLft https://oletimesumting.com/2018/09/16/black-slave-owners/
