In 1890, the literacy rate in America was approximately 87.5% for the overall population. However, this rate varied significantly by region, gender, and ethnicity, with higher rates among white Americans compared to African Americans and immigrants. The increase in literacy during this time was influenced by factors such as the expansion of public education and societal changes following the Civil War.
