As many as he could afford. Really. As inhuman as it sounds, slaves were considered assets of the corporation that a Southern plantation was. Enough slaves were needed by the owner to produce the crops, keep the house running, and perform skilled trades needed (such as wagonmaker, wheel wright, miller, blacksmith, etc.). However, each slave resulted in Costs, such as food, clothing, housing, etc. Therefore, the slave owner, like any other businessman performed a cost-benefit analysis to decide how many slaves to keep at any given time.

This initiative was intended to provide economic independence, but it was largely overturned, and most freed slaves did not receive the land they were promised.
