Original Note:

Only about 1.6% of the population had slaves at the 1860 census https://www.census.gov/library/publications/1864/dec/1860a.html https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.statista.com/statistics/1010169/black-and-slave-population-us-1790-1880/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjNqt-IhouFAxVEC3kGHaE9BFQQFnoECAUQAg&usg=AOvVaw3VqI-vCBmos-s_vinlxYiK https://www.google.com/url?q=https://usafacts.org/articles/the-1860-census-counted-4-million-enslaved-people-it-counted-zero-in-1870/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjNqt-IhouFAxVEC3kGHaE9BFQQFnoECAYQAg&usg=AOvVaw3ipuf957xBDWs2uimdu49F
