What was the population distribution in Alabama in 1860 relative to today? Wondering if some of the percentages are explicable by the denominator being very different from what it is today.

It's also worth noting that Middle Tennessee had an even larger drop in Black population from the Great Migration for reasons that are not immediately clear to me; perhaps whatever factors lead to similarly sharp drop-offs in Northern Alabama are related.

I would think a lot of it was just that it was closer and better connected to the North, so that migration was slightly easier.
