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.

Your original post asserted that the free population of the North had a “higher per capita income”.

The answer to that assertion is that you are wrong.

The per capita income of free populations in 1860 as complled by the United States Census was the following:

........................South..............North

...........................$150................$142

Sources: Fogel & Engerman (1860 Census), Wm. Parker
