In 1760, it is estimated that there were approximately 300,000 enslaved Africans in the Southern colonies of North America. This number was part of a growing population of enslaved individuals that supported the plantation economy, particularly in states like Virginia, South Carolina, and Maryland. The reliance on slave labor was integral to the agricultural output of the region, especially in the production of tobacco and rice.
almost 4 million slaves been freed
Yes, Georgia was a slave state in 1760 because it is in the south part of the state.South and North were not deciding factors for slavery. There were slave states in the North during the war. After the civil war slaves were still slaves in the North. The issue of the war was over state sovereignty, not slavery. Slavery ended the December AFTER the war ended with the 17th amendment.BTW, there are also cases where black individuals owned slaves in the country and there were also black troops that fought for the South during the civil war.
The cotton gin led to a huge increase in the number of slaves in the South. This happened because the cotton gin caused more cotton to be produced.

Larger plantations called for more workers. As a result, the number of slaves in the South nearly doubled from 700,000 to 1,200,000 by the mid-1800s.
There were approximately 3,500 slaves in Georgia in 1760. By 1780, there were over 20,000 slaves working on plantations across the state.

1760 is already a whole number
It caused slavery to be more profitable. :)

According to the 1860 census:Total number of slaves in the Lower South : 2,312,352 (47% of total population).Total number of slaves in the Upper South: 1,208758 (29% of total population).Total number of slaves in the Border States: 432,586 (13% of total population).The information (which I have not checked) is here:http://civilwarcauses.org/stat.htm
In the South, it was estimated that 350,000 slave owners held a significant number of slaves.
To find 70 percent of a number, multiply the number by 0.7. In this instance, 1760 x 0.7 = 1232. Therefore, 70 percent of 1760 is equal to 1232.

The South worried since the number of representative in the House of Representative is chosen by the size of the population per state and since slaves made a large proportion of the population in the South compared to the Whites... That without the slaves being included in the population of the Southern states they would have a much smaller number of representatives in the Congress.
