Prominent American slave holders
No references (not that it isn't most likely true, of course, but still). An improperly formatted list. Also, POV in title: what denotes a slaveowner as being "prominent": his popularity by today's standards or by the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries' standards? --FuriousFreddy 03:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * There is a category Category:American slaveholders which seems to do what this list does, only better. I would say the scope of this article can be covered in prose at History of slavery in the United States until/if there's enough for a sub-article. --W.marsh 04:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, all entries are now in Category:American slaveholders except Columbus, who I'm not sure should be considered American. Gazpacho 05:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
