Mortality and race power in South Carolina, 1868 figures
A Columbia New York Times correspondent asserts race equality is near as white mortality and immigration shape demographics. In Charleston, about 1,208 deaths occurred among a 40,000 population in 1868, with 518 colored and 690 white deaths, implying a higher white death rate and a shifting racial balance as whites gain through immigration and freedmen fail to grow. The piece argues the state’s 100,000 voters split about 90,000 black and 10,000 white, with blacks moving toward coastal areas and whites potentially losing influence in the Senate after 1870, amid concerns about governance and party control.
