Civil War history for the day

Courtesy of The Dissident Frogman, this bit of American history:

The real issue here, as you should all know by now, is that enslaving is only when whitey does it. Especially so when Whitey is an evil Secessionist Southerner Slaveholder.
Like, for example, William Ellison, the third-largest slaveholder in South Carolina, who owned more than sixty slaves by 1860 (putting him in the top five percent of slaveholders in South Carolina, and owning more slaves than 99% of the South's slaveholders), and staunch supporter of the Confederate cause. One of the richest men in South Carolina, his family lost it all after the war between the States, because they put all their dough in Confederate bonds. His oldest grandson served in the 1st South Carolina Artillery and was wounded in action on 12 July 1863.
Okay, so they were black.
Okay.
Wrong example. My mistake.

Rico says it's stuff like this that makes the study of history such a delight...
