Muslim merchants were heavily involved in the African human trafficking trade, but very few Muslims actually OWNED African slaves during the time period you’re talking about. Almost every planter in the South owned African-American slaves, and a lot of middle class Southerners did too.
Lol jesus get educated. From 1565-1865 the American colonies and later United states imported very few slaves while the Muslim African slave trade lasted from the 9th century- 1960s, is still going and predates islam. Saying few muslims owned African slaves is silly and of course every slave plantation owner owned but that doesn't mean every white farmer owned slaves ie Abraham Lincoln's father didn't own slaves. There were plenty of plantations all over north Africa, the middle east and asia minor. Hell there were slave revolts from time to time one involving 500,000 African slaves.
