The was no limit in the United States as to the number of slaves an individual living in the North or South could own until shortly after the civil war ended. Some states had restrictions (in the north) that prevented the owning of slaves by it's population and yet allowed non citizens of the state to retain ownership. Slavery was abolished the December after the Civil War ended.
