Joseph Glatthaar, who recently published a statistical analysis of the ANV: "Add to that those who had family members who were slaveholders [but did not live in that family member's household], those who worked as overseers, and those whose business derived largely from slaveholders, and well over half fell into that category of attachment to slavery." He also notes that this almost 90% of the ANV were enlisted men which limits how much officers could skew the numbers.
