@CaptLowry@reauxboat@shr_eax@The3143counties Table inflates Southern per capita by putting slave property in the numerator and only free people in the denominator. Correct that and free Southern wealth isn’t higher. Northern child labor was real. Free workers still weren’t chattel.
@shr_eax@The3143counties@CaptLowry Between a Quarter to Half the population is being counted as “wealth” (numerator) and not included in the “per capita” (denominator).
It’s incorrectly inflating the alleged wealth of the confederate states in this 1860 table.
@Cmdr_Hadfield Great machine, Commander! You’re a few knots faster than me. I was trying to place the fuel tank (?) wing tips, I’m not as familiar with Pipers. See you in the air sometime! 🫡
