Chart, "Comparison of Products, Population, and Resources of the Free and Slave States," 1861

Dearborn, MI, United States
This bar-chart represented the growing divide between Free and Slave states prior to the Civil War. The chart used 1850 census data and compared "products, population and resources" of the two warring sections. Produced soon after the start of the war, Americans could see the outcomes for the nation if free labor prevailed or if slavery continued.
