The demographics remained a constant 90% until then
Actually in 1790 the United States was only about 75% white
the White Population increased because of open Immigration
and that was a side benefit
THE DOWNSIDE WAS THAT IT CULTURALLY SHIFTED THE COUNTRY
probably one of the big factors keeping white majority despite open immigration was that the ability to travel to the US From outside CONUS was difficult
in fact the White population in the USA if you look at family size was never growing naturally
no planes
at the rate England was
Probably should have sent all the niggers back then when we had the chance
In 1800 believe it or not, the average Englishman had 8 kids
the average American had 5
slavery was a mistake 100%
the niggers should have never been imported here
for some reason fertility in the United States was not as high as in England
but our infant mortality was lower
its very strange
hmmm
I looked at the numbers
5 kids per family is still a high growth rate eveb with that life expectancy
we only approached 90% White really in the 1880s with the immigraiton surge but if you look at Native Born Protestant White Americans
Also colonists might not feel as secure with a larger family
their growth was flat, EXCEPT FOR THE SOUTH
And infant mortality was probably lower because the UK was in a state of famine for most of that century
For instance and heres a wierd one
The South recovered from the Civil War much better than the North
from a demographic standpoint
This was because Southern women loved having kids and loved sex
they are just hornier in the South
its just that way
its the heat me thinks
Also a much more traditonal anglo culture
Or a natural reaction to a better environment
In the North following the war, especially in New England, the women responded to the war by simply becoming spinsters
Cleaner, better farmland, prettier
thus the traditional Yankee population declined
and was largely replaced by Irish Catholics, French Canadian Catholics and others
Yeah not many WASPs left
Yankee Population growth had been declining since the early 1800's when many farm families sent their daughters to work in factories instead of getting married
Oh and feminism started growing in the north
