Slavery Statistics Cited From Virginia and Border States
The document cites 1860s data on slaveholding in Virginia and border states, noting 847,556 slaveholders representing about 1.5 million people, and more than 8 million enslaved. It compares white and slave populations across Virginia from 1830 to 1860, reports movements of free whites to free states, and discusses political representation shifts and debates over slavery as a national issue. It questions whether a few planters can wield power over many free men and references political figures and local council actions tied to the era.
