How many slaves did an average white southerner own?

The average white southerner did not own slaves; in fact, only about 25% of white families in the South owned slaves before the Civil War. Among those who did, the number of slaves owned varied widely, with many owning just one or two, while wealthier plantation owners could own dozens or even hundreds. On average, those who did own slaves typically had around three to five. This statistic highlights the disparity in wealth and the concentration of slave ownership among a small elite.
