I do agree.

I wrote in at least two other places/ emails, the _free_ population,
which is what I meant. I also wrote that the unfree population
(primarily the black slaves) were at a literacy rate in the order of 80%
(but the timing for this stat might be more recent - I don't remember
sorry). So, I should have written (for the third time) "the _free_
population". Obviously slaves wouldn't have felt at "the height of
freedom" :)

Thanks for the correction,
