And don't forget that slaves count only as 3/5th persons for such a calculation.

I don't see why they should count at all - that 3/5ths thing was just a political trick by the South to get more representation, no?

For economic purposes they were similar to cattle or hogs. What was the white population of the US in 1860?

GDP per capita in 1860 was about $3859.

Not bad at all!
