Black Slaveowners are good or not?

David L. Lightner and Alexander M. Ragan wrote a journal article entitled WERE AFRICAN AMERICAN SLAVEHOLDERS BENEVOLENT OR EXPLOITATIVE? in 2005 for the Journal of Southern History. We can’t really say, but there are some reasons for both sides. Some believe anyone who owned slaves could not be a true Christian and was evil. Since I believe slavery was wrong, I can see their point.
However, I have researched one freedman’s life and this he is a Christian, a benevolent Christian. He was blessed to have Christian owners who helped him by teaching him to read, write, do math & read the Bible. John Carruthers Stanly was freed at the age of 24 and became the richest man in Craven County in 1824. His wife Kitty and his former owner, Lydia Carruthers Stewart were two of 13 founders of the First Presbyterian Church of New Bern. His home is near the church on the corner of New and Hancock. He bought and freed many slaves. The town of New Bern had 10% of all the Blacks as Freedmen. Twenty-five per cent (25%) of the Blacks in Charleston, SC,in 1824 were free also.
I am writing a story entitled "Slave to Slaveowner" for my Nancy C. Sanders Novel in a month. Since it is historical fiction, there is an element of fiction that is a mystery and pure fiction. For more info please check back.
