Visualizing Slavery
The NYTimes is running a daily blog called “Disunion” about the run up and duration of the American Civil War. Today’s topic provides a map based upon data collected in the 1860 census showing where slavery was most concentrated. One data point - 57% of the population of South Carolina was enslaved in 1860. Remember that the next time some Neo-Confederate squeals that it wasn’t about slavery.
