hmmm

2018-03-08 18:00:07 UTC  

I looked at the numbers

2018-03-08 18:00:09 UTC  

5 kids per family is still a high growth rate eveb with that life expectancy

2018-03-08 18:00:23 UTC  

thats big fam for now...but maybe avg for that time period?

2018-03-08 18:00:41 UTC  

we only approached 90% White really in the 1880s with the immigraiton surge but if you look at Native Born Protestant White Americans

2018-03-08 18:00:47 UTC  

Also colonists might not feel as secure with a larger family

2018-03-08 18:00:48 UTC  

their growth was flat, EXCEPT FOR THE SOUTH

2018-03-08 18:00:49 UTC  

And infant mortality was probably lower because the UK was in a state of famine for most of that century

2018-03-08 18:01:04 UTC  

For instance and heres a wierd one

2018-03-08 18:01:15 UTC  

The South recovered from the Civil War much better than the North

2018-03-08 18:01:20 UTC  

from a demographic standpoint

2018-03-08 18:01:41 UTC  

This was because Southern women loved having kids and loved sex

2018-03-08 18:01:50 UTC  

they are just hornier in the South

2018-03-08 18:01:53 UTC  

its just that way

2018-03-08 18:01:57 UTC  

its the heat me thinks

2018-03-08 18:02:10 UTC  

Also a much more traditonal anglo culture

2018-03-08 18:02:23 UTC  

Or a natural reaction to a better environment

2018-03-08 18:02:33 UTC  

In the North following the war, especially in New England, the women responded to the war by simply becoming spinsters

2018-03-08 18:02:42 UTC  

Cleaner, better farmland, prettier

2018-03-08 18:02:42 UTC  

thus the traditional Yankee population declined

2018-03-08 18:03:00 UTC  

and was largely replaced by Irish Catholics, French Canadian Catholics and others

2018-03-08 18:03:13 UTC  

Yeah not many WASPs left

2018-03-08 18:03:33 UTC  

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

2018-03-08 18:04:07 UTC  

Oh and feminism started growing in the north

2018-03-08 18:04:38 UTC  

Jewish influence you mean

2018-03-08 18:04:52 UTC  

There was a famous panting featuring New England factory girls

2018-03-08 18:05:06 UTC  

Jewish Influence was much higher in the South than in the North BEFORE the 1870s

2018-03-08 18:05:09 UTC  

believe it or not

2018-03-08 18:05:18 UTC  

but the Southern jews were largely commerical at the time

2018-03-08 18:05:29 UTC  

there were few Jews in the North before the 1850s

2018-03-08 18:05:49 UTC  

Good read

2018-03-08 18:05:55 UTC  

Yeah it was

2018-03-08 18:05:56 UTC  

Feminism began coming to the USA as a result of Thomas Jefferson's open immigration

2018-03-08 18:06:00 UTC  

Spencer is coming through for us

2018-03-08 18:06:05 UTC  

allowing in alot of French Refugees

2018-03-08 18:06:11 UTC  

and from England

2018-03-08 18:06:20 UTC  

Jews is the south were planters. In the north they were lawyers and bankers. They had wormed their waybinto power in both places

2018-03-08 18:06:42 UTC  

There were almost zero Jew bankers and lawyers in the North till the 1870s

2018-03-08 18:06:50 UTC  

there were some finaicers

2018-03-08 18:06:55 UTC  

but not at every level of power
