<i>With 10 slaves IN the house, taking care of cleaning and everything?</i><p>Exact numbers aren&#x27;t easy to come by, but at least based on numbers I&#x27;ve found for North Carolina[0] it seems that the majority of slave owners owned less than 10 slaves in total with 2-4 being most common number of slaves slave owners owned.<p>Now obviously the slave owners work and working conditions was absolutely and obviously trivial compared to that of their slaves, but that is hardly the same is not working.  My is working conditions are probably far more comfortable than that most of the plantation owners, but I still claim to work for a living.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.learnnc.org&#x2F;lp&#x2F;editions&#x2F;nchist-antebellum&#x2F;5347" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.learnnc.org&#x2F;lp&#x2F;editions&#x2F;nchist-antebellum&#x2F;5347</a>
