What do you mean by Census?
Governments conduct censuses—counting the population in a territory—every few years. These totals aid in choosing the most effective method for allocating resources and choosing political representation.
Thus, Over 70% of the population in most counties along the Mississippi River and in areas of the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia were enslaved in the South, which had a very high rate of enslavement.
