Well, yeah. Owning slaves was an affluent male thing to do, and most politicians are those kinda people even today. If it wasn’t abolished, I’m quite certain this would be 3/4, if not much, much higher.
I mean, do you think Trump, Bush(es), Clinton, Reagan, Kennedy or Nixon wouldn’t own slaves? I can only see Obama and Carter (despite a peanut farm), and I’ll venture a guess that Obama probably didn’t get elected president in that fucked up parallel universe since voting rights are probably pretty different even if he was allowed to run.

Clintons technically did. https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2017/06/the-clintons-had-slaves
There is absolutely no way Carter wouldn’t have had slaves.
