It may be a copyright violation so I've moved it to talk where it can be discussed and perhaps if it can be sourced it might be worked into the article. Hiding T 12:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American slave owners

No mention of slave-owning. I feel that this category should be restricted to people whose slave-owning history was notable in itself. Valetude (talk) 12:32, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
