This table shows us that in the States in 1860, out of 26,706,425 white
inhabitants, 19,976,762 were the descendants of the original citizens of
1790. I omit the Territories, as the number of inhabitants cannot affect
the result, and it is difficult to decide upon their nationality.

In Table II, I propose to divide the inhabitants of 1790 into four
classes, the first comprising New England; the second, New York, New
Jersey, and Pennsylvania; the third, Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Georgia; and the fourth, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and
Tennessee.

Allowing to each class the same percentage of increase as in the former
table, we shall see how our nineteen millions of native-born citizens
originated:

INCREASE OF NATIVE WHITE POPULATION.
