Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed analysis of the history of census-taking in Massachusetts, beginning with the very first enumeration of male inhabitants in 1643. The author provides a deep dive into the motivations behind these early censuses, which were primarily driven by the need to assess the colony's military strength and apportion taxes fairly. The book also examines the complexities of racial and ethnic classifications in early America, as reflected in the evolving definitions of who was counted as a "white inhabitant" and who was not. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable perspective on the long history of demographic data collection in the United States and the ways in which it has shaped our understanding of the nation's population.
