This book provides the first comprehensive and consistent analysis
of vital statistics and migration patterns for the United States
between the Revolution and the Civil War. It is anchored in the one
available source for nationwide estimates, the decennial censuses.
It attempts to provide, for black and white populations, a
consistent set of estimates of birth and death rates, rates of
natural increase, and net international and interregional flows.
For the black population, it also estimates the changing pace of
manumissions in the antebellum decades. The census estimates are
also conditioned by a wide range of historical evidence, both
quantitative and non-quantitative, ranging from evidence on slave
smuggling to ship traffic during the War of 1812. The results are
two-fold: a set of data and a set of questions suggested by the
data that promise novel challenges for historians of the antebellum
era.
