This is the last Census tarnished by having to count American slaves.  In a few months Abraham Lincoln will be elected president, Southern slave states will begin seceding from the Union (even before his Inauguration Day!), and within the year South Carolina rebels will launch a ruinous Civil War by firing on Ft. Sumter.
