Yes, that is a very true statement. But remember, it only took less than 5% of the population to obtain and bring in slaves that changed our country forever after.

The remainder of the 95% had no slaves, were not wealthy and were simply hard-working farmers, craftsmen, laborers, who all worked their fingers to the bone, but had to take up arms and sacrifice their sons, husbands and fathers, and ultimately were the frontline in slaughter in the bloodiest war that would never have happened without the introduction of slavery to America.
