You are a LIAR. I never mentioned “free” population until I analyzed the data you provided trying to prove per capita income higher in the South.
When I realized the fraud you were attempting I pointed out how you were attempting it.
You do realize “per capita” is based upon the ENTIRE population?
Really.
Here from your post # 245: “..Such as the FACT that the free population of the North was larger than that of the South by at least 3 to 1. It also had a higher per capita income.”
You were wrong. Time to admit it. Here is the truth:
The per capita income of free populations in 1860 as complled by the United States Census was the following:
........................South..............North
...........................$150................$142
