Reading edition
The free colored population of Charleston in 1860, did not vary materially from four thousand. The associated value of their property would give to each $390. Each family or six persons would possess, according to this estimate, $2840. This would be a full average of wealth to the free population of the United States—the amount varying in the different States from $2200 to $2500 to each family of six persons.
