Your original assertion was concerning per capita data.

Another source for you:

Wright, Gavin. Slavery and American Economic Development. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 2006

Wealth per capita

1850 North.............1850 South.............1860 North.............1860 South

$315..........................$483........................$482........................$868

Your comment: “I can only conclude you are a LIAR.”

When confronted with data that shows you wrong, you start the accusations.

Why don't you contact the US Census bureau, Fogel, Wright, and the other dozen sources I have given you, and tell them that they are lying.

You said you do not believe in sourcing. That makes it easy for you to be the LIAR while hiding behind attacks on others.

Since you cannot refute the data you believed supported your claim that the per capita income of the South was higher after I pointed out how you were mistaken or misusing it, you post something else. Just admit you were incorrect.

In addition, we have not been discussing wealth per capita, particularly when that figure included human beings as property. So your post is irrelevant to the argument about per capita INCOME.

What point would there be in me posting links when you don’t even understand the ones YOU post? You would only misinterpret them or LIE about what they say just as you keeping pretending that there were only Free Whites in the South. You have to use total population.

For the TOTAL population per capita income was $103 South, $128 North. 128>103 in case you can’t figure it out.
