Foreign born by state, 1860

[Del Tachi]

The numbers in the South are a bit lower than I expected simply because, even though the slave trade ended in 1808, I thought that there would be more older, "foreign-born" slaves still kicking in 1860.  Granted, these would probably be house slaves rather than field slaves.

Do you think they even kept data on the nationality of slaves?  I bet not.

At the very least they could of called them "foreign-born"

Wait...so...do we have info on the race of foreign-born populations?

Could a majority of the African-born population living in the United States in 1860 be non-Black?
