Before the Civil War, some free African Americans owned slaves and a few also employed white people. They did this because it was in their economic interest to do so.

The American Indians owned many slaves. Here are the figures.

By 1860, the Cherokees had 4,600 slaves; the Choctaws, 2,344; the Creeks, 1,532; the Chickasaws, 975; and the Seminoles, 500. Some Indian slave owners were as harsh and cruel as any white slave master. Indians were often hired to catch runaway slaves; in fact, slave-catching was a lucrative way of life for some Indians, especially the Chickasaws.
