Sticks Wrote:"free able-bodied white male citizen" between the ages of 18 and 45 only comprised/comprises 20% of the population in question?Roughly 20%, yes. I did a very quick and dirty count of recent census figures, and males 18-45 were approximately 20% of the total. Could be off by a few percentage points, though.
I figure that the percentage probably wasn't much different in the late 18th century.
