no. you could not own a slave. as soon as Santa Anna, the president of Mexico, said that Texas nor Mexico had the right to own slaves. really... Mexico never aloud it. so no. you could not own a slave in that date of time. they may have aloud slaves at one point but in 1824 you were not aloud to own a slave.
no
Yes, if they had the money.
They had to be men, they could not be a slave , and they had to own land
no Actually there's record of former black slaves in Jamaica owning Rominchal gypsies as slaves during the 1650's. At that time a lot of western European nations (including England and Scotland) enslaved gypsies and sold them because they considered them a 'problem.' They did! And in the USA! There are some census records that indicate quite a large percentage of free black slaves in some states (particularly Louisiana) owned slaves. You have to remember that at that time slavery was an accepted part of most societies not just in the Americas. Most black slaves brought over from Africa had likely owned slaves themselves, lived in towns and villages with slaves, or may have already been slaves. Slavery was rampant in the middle east, parts of Asia, and even some parts of Europe. Here's a good site for you to look at, it has the census information on black slave owners dating back to 1790's.
Most American settlers were slave owners. Granting freedom to their own slaves was "bad for business".
No. There were free blacks who were slave owners, and Indians too.
None. Mexico fought on its own with whatever weapons people could find.
It depends. If the slave was enslaved in the early 1800s, then no. But if he were enslaved later in time he could. However most slaves did not have that required amount of money.
Yes, in Thoreau's time it was legal to own a slave.
If a slave was important enough it was likely that he or she did own personal slaves
One of the main reasons a slave would not leave a plantation because it would have no where to go, another reason is if a slave is found and it had no tag or permission the person could kidnap the slave as it's own or they would sell it off again.
A slave was not paid, did not earn money and did not buy their freedom. A slave is property and has no decision on how they live. As property they could be sold away from wife/husband and children, they could be beaten, killed, children could be sold away, all decisions made about work or life done by the person who own them.
