Indians not taxed were disregarded in the census count. The US Government did not include them. So, Shawnee Indians in Indiana Territory are not counted in the census of 1810. Another way to think about: the United States was building forts to purposely border out natives, and the army was fighting Indians in the Great Lakes area at this time.
my family lived in what would become West Virginia at this time, but we and other families in the area didn't appear on the national census until 1850, guess the government men didn't go into the mountains far enough to find us

Am I hearing correctly that you are saying that Thomas Jefferson was the president in 1800? He did not take office until 1801.
Great question. I think at this time in the nineteenth century, slaves are almost entirely African Americans. In the 17th century, there were large numbers of "indentured servants" from England that were basically slaves, but that had phased out by the 1700s. There were also earlier periods where Native Americans were enslaved.
Do you know how much of the population growth between the two censuses was powered by immigration vs. home-grown? The rapid population growth in early industrial-revolution England was powered by improved agricultural practices, better diets, living standards, etc., but little to no immigration (possible exception, from Ireland).
I think both. The census wasn't tabulating "foreign born" vs. "domestically born" at this time. They just listed how many folks were in a household. But it's likely a combination of high birth rates and lots of immigrants. The western states and New York are showing explosive growth at this time. Immigration would most likely be from the British Isles in 1810, as this predates the massive Irish and German immigration in the middle of the 1800s.
Sorry it took me so long to watch this. The blizzard in Omaha had me busy. Do we know of the 36% growth, what was thru immigration and what was thru the birth rate? Great and interesting! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks for watching! I think both. The census wasn't tabulating "foreign born" vs. "domestically born" at this time. They just listed how many folks were in a household. But it's likely a combination of high birth rates and lots of immigrants. Stay warm out there.
Public school didn't teach me much about the time between the Revolutionary and Civil War so this really helps fill in the gaps of my knowledge. So crazy to me that Jersey had slaves at this time, Spain was still chilling down in Florida, and that 40 freakin' percent of Virginia was enslaved and that's not even the highest percentage of southern states!
Good stuff , I like how you show the map without the states boarders , it really captures the terrain of early America
Thanks, I think it looks cleaner to not have the boundaries and it shows the geography (dark green being mountains).
@5:00 you've got NYC in Boston's location
Yeah, I goofed that one.
@@JeffreytheLibrarian love the channel, always happy to see a new video drop!
Thank you for your work. I'm appreciative of your clear and clean presentation with NO idiotic sound track.
Thank you!
Very informative video. This helps me understand my family’s migration patterns in the 1800’s
Thanks for watching!
Love this channel
Thank you for watching!
Another great lesson (1 minor error at 5:00).
Thanks for catching it.
Proud Ohioan. Glad to learn that Ohio was established as a free state
That is one of Ohio's neat facts, established as a free state.
Did the Census record (list without counting) Indians not taxed,or were they disregarded?

You labeled New York City were Boston is located.
Thanks for catching that.

Good catch. When the Census returns came in, it was 1801, and Jefferson was the President. He was president elect in 1800, to be more precise.
Great presentation. Hard to imagine the country with so few people. Question, were any non African people held in slavery at this time?

It's a fascinating story! Thank you for watching.
