beardedbruce, if you look again at that thread, you will see that I conceded that my numbers may have been incorrect when I said this...

"If we assume that (blah blah blah... not going to rehash that thread in this one), then you are correct on the numbers"

I did it after I said this...

" since there were more slaves than free people in that part of the country"

and before I said this:

" But the 1860 census shows that out of a total population of 7,568,454 in the states listed above, 3,566,298 were slaves. That means that the slaves numberd only 217,929 less than half of the total population."

This means that I conceded that I might have been wrong about using the word "most" before making the second statement quoted above.

Nice try at being misleading and disingenuous. No cigar though.
