Category:American slave owners

[edit]

Wheelock "was a long-time slave owner".

This disembodied line does not relate to anything before or after. The label now seems to be pasted on to every American in history who ever owned a slave, however irrelevant to his notability. (You might as well have ‘American shotgun-owners’) It’s obviously meant as a political smear. It is non-encyc, and I feel that the category should be restricted to people whose slave-owning history was notable in itself. Valetude (talk) 11:19, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I disagree. There were many more shotgun owners than slave owners. (Slaves were much more expensive.) Pro-Native American clergy – owning slave(s) I see as relevant. deisenbe (talk) 15:47, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
