The US Census of 1860 numbered the nations population to be 31,443,321. The eleven states that seceded had a population of 9,103,332. These states had 5,449,462 "whites" and 3,521,110 slaves. The seceded states also had a free Black population of 139,760.
The fourteenth census taken in 1920 revealed that a 15% increase in the population had occurred since that last census in 1910.
According to the US census of 1820, one in five people in the US were slaves. Just over one million slaves populated the US.
The official total from the 1810 U.S. Census is 6,726,201: 6,710,730 in the 17 states and 15,471 in the District of Columbia.

The census records for the entire 1890 US Census were exposed to extreme water damage in 1921, when a fire occurred in the Department of Commerce building. Little effort was made to remediate the damage and the papers deteriorated while the Bureau of the Census and the Library of Congress debated what to do about them. Historians and preservationists were not consulted. In 1933, Congress approved a list of documents to be destroyed, which, perhaps mistakenly, included the damaged 1890 Census records. The documents were probably destroyed some time in 1934 or 1935.The data on individual households for the 1800 and 1810 US Censuses is also no longer extant.

The best scholarship in this arena is inconsistent and often unreliable primarily, because they are using the 1790 Census, rare historical documents and imperfect statistal analysis. The US Slave population in the 1790 population was 694,207. Maryland recorded a total of 103,036. That number increased to 105,645 by 1800 and by 1810 it had peaked at 111,502.The 1860 Census recorded only 87,189, almost equal to the number of free African-Americans recorded but probably never highern then 20 percent of the total population which was about typical for the border states. Some were sold south into slave markets but most were emancipated.The only good thing that can be Sid about this tragic part of Americam History is that by 1870 there were none. And although they were not free and equal in every sense, the 2008 Election is an indication that the "Times, They are a Changing".
