No slaves were allowed to buy land for themselves! ONLY white men were allowed to.
Slaves were generally allowed to accumulate personal property, though their rights were rarely protected. In some cases, slaves acquired enough personal wealth to buy freedom for themselves and their families.
One way that this would happen is that during the non-planting months, slaves would set up shop as carpenters, horse trainers, or any variety of skilled and semi-skilled occupation. The slave owner would get a certain amount of their income each month and the slave would keep the rest. This system was common in a few cities, and blurred the lines a little between slave and free.
