While your bilge is ignorable the census data is rather interesting since it points out the very high percentage of blacks who volunteered to fight for the North.
And it proves that my statement was 100% CORRECT. There were plenty of free blacks in Illinois about 1000% more than Mississippi in fact.
Your B.S. is hilarious.
So the Census collected data on who volunteered?
The census is performed every 10 years. Do you refer to the census of 1860 before the war, or the census of 1870 after the war?

Full of crap again
Just can't wait to spew your crap again
You just love spewing nonsense with your friends
And I just can't wait to see you spew again
Full of crap again
Goin' places reality's never been
Dreamin' things you may never dream again,
And I just can't wait to see you spew again.
[jsuati #697] There were plenty of free blacks in Illinois....
In 1860 Illinois claimed 7,628 free blacks. Lincoln thought that was 7,628 too many. Considering the time and effort they spent passing Black Laws, most of Illinois agreed with Lincoln.
Lincoln was typical of the racist bilge that Illinois selected as leaders for that pitiful state. "...Republicans ruefully admitted that large parts of the North were infected with racism. 'Our people hate the Negro with a perfect if not a supreme hatred,' said Congressman George Julian of Indiana. Senator Lyman Trumbull of Illinois conceded that 'there is a very great aversion in the West -- I know it to be so in my State -- against having free negroes come among us. Our people want nothing to do with the negro.'" (McPherson, Ordeal By Fire, p. 275)
The slave state of Maryland had 83,942 free blacks; Virginia had 58,042; North Carolina had 30,463; Delaware had 19,829; Louisiana had 18,647; Kentucky had 10,684; South Carolina had 9,914.
