African Americans were enumerated in the census as all other U.S. residents from
1870 (the first census year following the Civil War and emancipation) onward. Prior
to 1870, however, the situation was far different. Although free African Americans
were enumerated by name in 1850 and 1860, slaves were consigned to special, far
less informative, schedules in which they were listed anonymously under the names
of their owners The only personal information provided was usually that of age, gender, and racial identity (either black or mulatto).
