If your interest is challenging slavery, you could make more material difference as a slave owner, surely, in that you could emancipate all your slaves whereas, as a slave, you could not emancipate yourself.

A deeply unserious comment from a deeply unserious person. Frederick Douglass should have a chat with them, and John Brown should have a few minutes alone with them.

Which is why there were so many people who bought slaves just to free them right?

I mean that was my first instinct. Yeah sure guys make me the slave owner, see how that turns out.

"Sells" slaves buys arms and ammunition

Step 1: go to all the fancy slaver parties and debutante balls and memorize the layout of the plantations and how many exits the mansions have

Step 2: make maps for yourself and your "slaves."

Step 3: get really into pyromania

This only works ethically if you’re playing 5D chess and none of your slaves are actually slaves, but putting on a disguise and performance while you and the “house slaves” are actually gearing up in the mansion for a bloody rebellion and crushing the entire south.
