Where Negro Labor Abounds in The North and South
The census shows near 1,000,000 more people left the south for the north than vice versa since interstate migration began. German born residents are heavily concentrated in New York and New Jersey, with large totals also in Illinois and Wisconsin, while southern states have tiny German numbers. Norwegians are few in the south but abundant in northern states. The moral drawn is that where negro labor abounds the foreigner will not.

Born a Slave Yet Frederick Douglass Seeks Ash Ley Villa Purchase
Eastox Maryland May 4 report says Frederick Douglass, born a slave in Talbot County, seeks to buy Ashley Villa on Miles River a grand 30 acre park with 170 acre farm and water access. The Italian style house features a dining room for 100 and a ballroom. Local whites of old slaveholding aristocracy may limit social intimacy. Public sentiment fears loneliness and social friction for a Black national figure in a region shaped by Civil War legacies.
