What is Free Negro Slave Owners in 1830 about?

The document summarizes census records from 1830 that show free Negroes who owned slaves in several Southern states. It finds that the majority of Negro slaveholders owned few slaves and did so out of philanthropy, such as purchasing family members. Some Negroes also owned larger numbers of slaves and operated plantations, though most Negro slaveholders lived in urban areas. By 1840, the status of free Negroes was declining throughout the South.
