This is an article from the Barnes Review, which the hatewatch website the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as practising "an extremist form of revisionist history that includes defending the Nazi regime, denying the Holocaust, discounting the evils of slavery, and promoting white nationalism. The Barnes Review magazine has published articles entitled "Adolf Hitler — An Overlooked Candidate for the Nobel Prize?", "Treblinka Was No Death Camp", "Is There a Negro Race?", "‘Reconquista': The Mexican Plan to Take the Southwest", and "David Duke: An Awakening."

It is also disingenuous with its statistics. For instance, it says that 28% of free blacks in New Orleans owned slaves and compares this to " less than 1.4 percent of all American whites and less than 4.8 percent of southern whites". However, that's comparing apples and oranges. You can't compare black owners in one single city with the whole of the US, or the whole of the South. The same 1860 census that this statistic is taken from clearly states that 29% of households in Louisiana owned slaves. If you want some more impressive figures: 49% of households in Mississippi owned slaves, South Carolina 46%, Georgia 37% and Alabama 35%.

I am not going to deconstruct the whole article, I think it is quite clear that a publication like the Barnes Review cannot be trusted.
