This is only tangentially related, but can you determine what was the highest percentage of the U.S. that was enslaved at a given point? My best approximation is the slave pop. topped out at 10% ~1861, which sounds like a lot less than "the majority."

My assumption would be around there. Who said slaves were "the majority" of the country?
