Question:

What does the page title at the top of the 1860 us census mean that says "Free inhabitants"?

Is this just the general population or does it mean people who have been freed from slavery?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It is the general population. There was a separate schedule for slaves. It listed the slaves, without thei rnames, by age, sex and if mulatto or black, plus the full name of the white person who owned them.
