The most certainly did.
"How Many Slaves Did Blacks Own?
So what do the actual numbers of black slave owners and their slaves tell us? In 1830, the year most carefully studied by Carter G. Woodson, about 13.7 percent (319,599) of the black population was free. Of these, 3,776 free Negroes owned 12,907 slaves, out of a total of 2,009,043 slaves owned in the entire United States, so the numbers of slaves owned by black people over all was quite small by comparison with the number owned by white people. In his essay, " 'The Known World' of Free Black Slaveholders," Thomas J. Pressly, using Woodson's statistics, calculated that 54 (or about 1 percent) of these black slave owners in 1830 owned between 20 and 84 slaves; 172 (about 4 percent) owned between 10 to 19 slaves; and 3,550 (about 94 percent) each owned between 1 and 9 slaves. Crucially, 42 percent owned just one slave."

Any descendants that are famous?
Any famous descendants of the civl war that were confederate blacks?
They were sold to the British by other Africans.
These idiots don't even understand how it all came about.
I have been in West Africa and you can still follow the slave trails. They planted Mango trees and other fruit trees along the way so the slaves could eat.
Thus, all previous slaves disembarked from United States flagged ships.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Not seeing any pyramids thrown down.
As I understand, the Federal blockade of Southern ports pretty much ended the importation of slaves.

Any way you can re phrase this? I'm not sure what you are getting at.
Did US Ships turn away other countries ships carrying slaves, and just to the southern states?
When was the last slave ship allowed to unload and who owned the shipping line or boat? Was the cargo contracted or did the ship owner buy and sell?

...the last slave ship ran a blockade in Mobile,Al. This was done on a dare-bet...the ship was the "Clotilde"...she was burned just after she unloaded her cargo...there is a settlement here where the slaves stayed until after the war
Interesting story.
Democrap cities/plantations are a poopshow run by poop heads who wallow and whine in their self created pooppile.
13% of the populus - 70% of the violent crime.

Plus slavery is still alive and well in the United States today. You just ask any black pimp how many white hookers he has in his stables

Blacks can't sell blacks into slavery today, so now they just shoot each other
