I rechecked the percentage of slave owners in 1860, it was 1.446671815774262% of the free ppopulation.
1860 Census Results

The free population throughout the USA, not just the South. I am talking about the South, and the South only.

Actually, more than 2% of southern Whites owned slaves. About 30% of White Southern families owned at least one slave.

Sounds like you are the one with fantasies, not me.

It first came out that 5% of the population owned slaves. I used to quote that. But the wife and kids don't really count. Like you said, it's about families or households

And conservatives are any better?

And yes, I do hate the Confederate flag. This is why.

Anyone who says slavery wasn't a big part of why the South wanted secession is telling a big fat lie. I have every reason to have disgust for the Confederacy, and I'm not sorry for feeling that way. It is what it is.

And what it proves is that slavery was a widespread institution in the South. If so many households had slaves, then that should show how widespread it was. States like Mississippi, South Carolina, and Georgia, their economies were built specifically because of slavery.

I'm aware, hence original comment.
Six percent of Southern whites owned slaves.
If you include the North, 1.4 percent owned slaves.

A few more numbers:

3,000 blacks owned a total of 20,000 black slaves in the year 1860. One study concluded that 28 percent of free blacks owned slaves, which is a far higher percentage than that of free whites who owned slaves.

Two-thirds of whites came to the colonies in some form of bondage. Legal papers on both sides of the ocean referred to them as "slaves." White slaves outnumbered black slaves in America throughout the 1600s.

Hundreds of thousands of white slaves were kidnapped and brought to America; their middle-passage death rates were comparable to those of black slaves; they were sold at auction and traded for livestock, they were routinely beaten—sometimes to death—and an estimated one half of them died before gaining freedom. It's possible that more whites came to America against their will than blacks.

Of the 10 to 15 million Africans who were transplanted to the New World, no more than 6 percent—around 400,000—went to the Northern Hemisphere. Almost all of them went to South America.
