You insist on ignoring 1/3 of the population of the South in order to arrive at your erroneous conclusion. Did the Blacks disappear in your dream world?
The Post YOU posted lists the income of various parts of the nation. You pick out the only showing showing the “South” to have higher income for a PART of the South’s population. There were more than Whites living in the United States.
“Free Whites” is not the relevant statistic. TOTAL POPULATION is the relevant statistic. ONE part of the South had a higher income than the National Average for this relevant stat and had the highest income of any section of the nation. The other sections were much lower.
Per capita income was $103 for the South as a whole. This is 80% of the per capita income for the North.
Since you have repeatedly been shown you are using the wrong statistic from YOUR post, I can only conclude you are a LIAR. It is hard to believe you could be so stupid as to not see the meaning of your own numbers, though not impossible.
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.
