The United States Census of 1850 was the seventh census of the United States. Conducted by the Census Office on June 1, 1850, it determined the resident population of the United States to be 23,191,876 — an increase of 35.9 percent over the 17,069,453 persons enumerated during the 1840 Census. The total population included 3,204,313 slaves. This was the first census where there was an attempt to collect information about every member of every household, including women, children, and slaves. Prior to 1850, census records had recorded only the name of the head of the household and broad statistical accounting of other household members (three children under age five, one woman between the age of 35 and 40, etc.). It was also the first census to ask about place of birth. Hinton Rowan Helper made extensive use of the 1850 census results in his politically notorious book ''The Impending Crisis of the South''. ==Census questions== The 1850 census collected the following information: * name * address * age * sex * color (white, black or mulatto) for each person * whether deaf and dumb, blind, insane or idiotic * value of real estate owned (required of all free persons) * profession, occupation or trade of each male over 15 years of age * place (state, territory or country) of birth * whether married within the year * whether attended school within the year * whether unable to read and write (for persons over 20) * whether a pauper or convict Full documentation for the 1850 population census, including census forms and enumerator instructions, is available from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1850 United States Census」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
