About 3.5 million, out of a total population of 30 million. There were another .5 million free blacks. Most slaves were in the south, though there were still a few in some nothern states.
In 1860, the total number of enslaved people in the United States was approximately 3.9 million. This figure represented about 13% of the total U.S. population at that time. The majority of enslaved individuals were concentrated in the Southern states, where plantation agriculture was predominant. This demographic would play a significant role in the social and economic landscape leading up to the Civil War.

Between 1787 and 1808, it is estimated that approximately 250,000 to 300,000 enslaved Africans were forcibly brought to the United States. This period coincided with the transatlantic slave trade, which continued until the United States officially banned the importation of enslaved people in 1808. Despite the ban, illegal smuggling persisted, allowing continued arrivals of enslaved individuals beyond that date.

There were plenty of immigrants that came to the US before 1860. These immigrants were most often people from Europe looking for a better life.
(in the US) Without even resorting to statistical research: since the year contained in the question is prior to the War Between the States, and since the practice of slavery existed in both the northern states and the southern states, it can safely be deduced that more African-Americans (in North America) were enslaved than there were free at that time.
462,198 slaves lived in GA according to the official US census of 1860.
By 1860, the population of the United States was approximately 31 million people. This marked a significant increase from earlier decades, driven largely by immigration and natural population growth. The population was also heavily concentrated in the northern states, with a notable difference in demographics between the North and South, particularly regarding the presence of enslaved individuals in the southern states.
