My "limited" public school education tells me that in 1790, blacks represented 20% of the population in America and 92% were slaves. That translates into approximately 30 000 free blacks (men, women and children) throughout the nation. By 1860, 89% of America's blacks were still slaves.that is incorrect - blacks voted in several early states. but of course your public education never taught you that .
