Nobody can say exactly because there had never been a census. The first census in the US was in 1790, when the government under our new Constitution needed to know how many people there were for the purpose of apportionaing seats in the House of Representatives. The best guesses, based on careful research from the information available, is that there were around 3 million people in the 13 colonies, probably 600,000 of whom were slaves.
