This book provides the first comprehensive and consistent analysis of American vital statistics and migration patterns upto the Civil War. It is anchored in the one available source for nationwide estimates, the decennial censuses. It attempts to provide, for black and white populations, a consistent set of estimates of birth and death rates, rates of natural increase, and net international and interregional flows.
