The invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793 led to a major increase in the number of slaves in the United States. The first census in 1790 counted 697,897 slaves, but by 1810 that number had grown 1.2 million slaves and increase of about 70%!
The nearest US Census was taken in 1830. In that year the entire United States had a population of 12.8 million, of whom 10.5 million were free white, 0.3 million free black, and 2.0 million slaves. The census recorded slaves in all states except Vermont although the numbers outside the south were very small. In the southern states the total white population was 3.1 million with 1.9 million black slaves. In two states the free white population was outnumbered by black slaves: South Carolina, 258,000 white and 315,000 black slave Louisiana, 89,000 white and 110,000 black slave. The number of slave owners was not counted by the census that year.
