When I started to create my map in Flourish I wasn’t sure of what I wanted to look into at first. A lot of the questions that I came up with had a pretty clear answer to it. Then I came up with the idea to see how many men lived from 30 to 59 no matter race or freedom status. This question helped me to dig deeper into the census data. The data that I used specifically is the 1850’s I chose this because I thought that maybe it might be the most accurate. I was able to see that the northern states had low non white male numbers of all ages. That changed of course when looking at the south part of the US. White men are the majority in most counties in the south but there are a few counties were there are more slaves than white men. There is a very small free population in the US at this time. When looking at the map you notice that there aren’t many black people between the ages of 50-59. In the south there weren’t many freed black people to make it to the age 50 with it usually only being about 1 to 3 folks on the census. This helped to show that at this time there were still a huge slave market in the south. While pretty majority of  the rest of the founded states in the US, at the time didn’t have 1 slave in the census. This shows us the biases of the south. If you had a darker pigmentation to your skin in the south the odds of you being a slave were pretty high. This shows why the rates are so high for slave to live to 49 over free men in the south. If you are look at as a slave you can be turned into one with no laws against it. Also you have to live long enough to think about becoming a free man or escape which lots of slaves could do neither.
