https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Negro_Law

The "Twenty Negro Law", also known as the "Twenty Slave Law" was a piece of legislation enacted by the Confederate Congress during the American Civil War. The law specifically exempted from Confederate military service one white man for every twenty slaves owned on a Confederate plantation, or for two or more plantations within five miles of each other that collectively had twenty or more slaves.
