U.S. Census Office, Amount of Ginned Cotton...Raised in the Different States in 1860, and...1850 (1864)

This is a table from the 1864 Census Office report following the 1860 Census. It shows the amount of ginned cotton produced per state in 1850 and 1860. We focused on the top ten cotton-producing states from the table and created a bar graph using the data from both 1850 and 1860. The original table, recreated table, and graph can be found on these spreadsheets.
