In 1860, the average wealth in the United States varied significantly based on region and Demographics. Estimates suggest that the average per capita wealth was around $3,000, which would be equivalent to about $100,000 today when adjusted for inflation. However, this figure masks stark disparities, as wealth was heavily concentrated among the elite, particularly in the Southern states, where plantation owners held significant assets. Moreover, many individuals, especially those in the Northern states and enslaved people, had little to no wealth.
