The 1860 United States census was the eighth census conducted in the United States, starting June 1, 1860, and lasting five months. It determined the population of the United States to be 31,443,867 in 33 states and 10 organized territories. This was an increase of 35.6 percent over the 23,191,876 persons enumerated during the 1850 census. The total population included 3,953,760 slaves. By the time the 1860 census returns were ready for tabulation, the nation was sinking into the American Civil War. As a result, census superintendent Joseph C. G. Kennedy and his staff produced only an abbreviated set of public reports, without graphic or cartographic representations. The statistics did allow the census staff to produce a cartographic display, including preparing maps of Southern states, for Union field commanders. These maps displayed militarily vital topics, including the white population, slave population, predominant agricultural products (by county), and rail and post road transportation routes. This census saw Philadelphia regain its position as the second-most-populous American city (which it had lost to Baltimore in 1820), due to the Act of Consolidation, 1854, merging many smaller surrounding townships, such as Spring Garden, Northern Liberties, and Kensington, into the main city of Philadelphia. Philadelphia would lose its position as the second-most-populous American city to Chicago in 1890.
