They owned the majority of ships and slaves brought to the United States. They also owned a small majority of slaves in the United States.
At its peak, no more than ~2% of the US population ever owned a slave. And the US had slaves of every color and race, including whites. There were also black slave owners.
A black slave owner sued and set the legal precedent to allow for slavery in the United States.
Basically, without Muslims, blacks, and Jews, it's almost certain slavery would have never been legal. Even if it had been legal, it would have been exceptionally rare.
In the pre-Civil War United States 2% of white gentile households owned slaves. 40% of Jewish households owned slaves. Jews were 2000% more likely to own slaves than white gentiles.

They weren't slaves, goy. They were just animals. All of the goyim owned farm animals, and we did too, goy.
