(The Concise Columbia Encyclopedia, 1995 by Columbia University Press from MS Bookshelf.) innercity.org ~ ~ ~ Selected Statistics on Slavery in the United States (unless otherwise noted, all data is as of the 1860 census) Total number of slaves in the Lower South : 2,312,352 (47% of total population). Total number of slaves in the Upper South: 1,208758 (29% of total population). Total number of slaves in the Border States: 432,586 (13% of total population). members.aol.com
