African American Population Analysis

Within occupied south Louisiana citizens were torn in their loyalties, goals, and visions for the future. Since The city fell early and did not suffer from Battle, most citizens were not driven by fear to want in into the war. They refused to give up hope for a southern victory and thus were cautious to contribute with Union forces. It was very hard for the African-Americans to live in Louisiana at first, after the civil war it got way easier. Before the Civil War, Louisiana was a major slave state. In 1860, 47% of the population was in slavery. However Louisiana also had one of the largest free black populations in the United States.

. At present blacks are about 12% of the U.S. population, Hispanics 13% and Native Americans 2%. If present trends continue, for example, minorities like blacks, Hispanics and Asians will be the majority of the population in the

Violent rebellion was rarer and smaller in scale in the American South than in Brazil or the Caribbean, reflecting the relatively small proportion of blacks in the southern population, the low proportion of recent migrants from Africa, and the relatively small size of southern plantations. Compared to the Caribbean, prospects for successful sustained rebellions in the American South were bleak. In Jamaica, slaves outnumbered whites by ten or eleven to one; in the South, a much larger white population was committed to suppressing rebellion. In general, Africans were more likely than slaves born in the New World to participate in outright revolts. Not only did many Africans have combat experience prior to enslavement, but they also had fewer family and community ties that might inhibit violent insurrection.

When applying the 80 percent rule, there is evidence of disparate impact against African Americans. The test results showed that Whites had a 58% selection rate, which is greater than the 49% selection rate of African Americans.

A number of states experienced decades of Black population decline, especially across the deep South known as the “Black Belt” where cotton had been king identifier. In 1920 however a large percentage of the African American population was concentrated in Chicago, Detroit, New York, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. By 1910 African Americans constituted more that half the population of South Carolina and Mississippi and more than 40 percent in Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana by 1970. Mississippi was the only state that maintained an African American representation above 30 percent. Today, the effects of the Great Migration can be seen in the Music we hear, the food we eat, and even the look and feel of cities throughout the

There are more people of the Hispanic and Latino race in Baltimore now than in the 1980’s. The number of African

The population of African Americans taking in those of more than one race was evaluated at 44.5 million, making up 14.3 percent total of the U.S population in 2012. Those who identified only as African American made up 13.1percent of the U.S. population over 39 million people.

African Americans are the third largest racial or ethnic population, totaling 13.2% of the United States population (CDC, 2015). Giger (2013) states, some health disparities associated with African Americans is due to discriminatory practices and inequalities in social, economic, and educational opportunities, rather than biological factors. Statistics identifies higher health disparities for this population reflected in overall mortality rates compared to other populations. According to the Office of Minority Health (2014), the adult mortality rate is higher in African Americans for heart disease, stroke, cancer, asthma, influenza, pneumonia, and diabetes, as well as higher rates of infant mortality. For instance, the overall adult mortality rate for African Americans is 860.5 per 100,000 population compared to 731.0 per 100,000 population in Caucasian Americans according to 2012 data (KFF, 2015).

Many states had outlawed slavery by 1860, so the measurement of the national population is skewed by including Americans in states that had already outlawed slavery. Through a study done by Politifact, it shows the figure is counting children and slaves, not taking into account, family groupings or how many slaves each family owned. A more precise measurement of 1860 slaveholding, stated by experts, would focus on states that did allow slavery, and zero in on families or specific households as a group, as a way of preventing statistical noise created by counting slaves and children separately. It was calculated, from census data, that “4.9 percent of people in the slaveholding states owned slaves, that 19.9 percent of family units in those states owned slaves, and that 24.9 percent of households owned slaves” (Politifact). This data tells a completely different story than the data presented in the post, and shows that not only one percentage can truthfully identify the meaning of the specific number as a whole, there’s always more to know.

9 million people lived in the south and 5.5 million lived in the south were white

Not just because the population is more black then white.

An estimated 100,000 African Americans escaped, died or were killed during the American Revolution(Mount). Roughly 95% of African Americans in the United States were slaves, and because of their status, the use of them during the revolution was inevitable(Mount). This led many Americans, especially those from the North, to believe that the South's economy would collapse without slavery due to the use of slaves on the front lines. However, only a small percentage of the slave population enlisted in either army.

However, only regions in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama were counted in the census. These large and insurmountable discrepancies have stumped me and I fear, like many other researchers, that those after us will never know how many slaves resided within the Nation.

The United States Census Bureau announced that Negro would be included on the 2010 United States Census, alongside Black and African-American, because some older black Americans still self-identify with the
