No. Very few people owned slaves...
According to this data: http://www.civil-war.net/census.asp?census=Total
8% did.
Furthermore, what does it matter whether or not his family owned slaves? He's not his ancestors. No one is.
Edit: I know my ancestors did, the German side came over in the late 1880's and the English side were Quakers (vehemently opposed to slavery)

Overall, though, it's the bigness of the car that counts the most. Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
