第28章
The American People in 1830
1830年美国的人口
293. A New Race.

293.一种新的竞争

Between the election of President Jefferson and the election of President Jackson great changes had taken place. The old Revolutionary statesmen had gone. New men had taken their places. The old sleepy life had gone. Everywhere now was bustle and hurry. In 1800 the Federalists favored the British, and the Republicans favored the French. Now no one seemed to care for either the British or the French. At last the people had become Americans. The Federalist party had disappeared. Every one now was either a National Republican and voted for Adams, or a Democratic Republican and voted for Jackson.

在杰斐逊当选总统与杰克森当选总统期间美国发生了翻天覆地的变化;旧式革命的政治家不见了,新人们代替了他们的位子,过去毫无生气的生活也不见了,现在到处可见喧闹与忙碌的人。1800年联邦党人喜欢英国人,共和党人喜欢法国人,现在似乎没有人在乎英国人还是法国人,人民最终变成了美国人,联邦党这个党派不见了,此时,人们或者站在国家共和党人一边投票给亚当斯,或者站在民主共和党人一边投票给杰克森。
294. Numbers and Area.

294.人口与面积

In 1800 there were only five and one-half million people in the whole United States. Now there were nearly thirteen million people. And they had a very much larger country to live in. In 1800 the area of the United States was about eight hundred thousand square miles. But Louisiana and Florida had been bought since then. Now (1830) the area of the United States was about two million square miles. The population of the old states had greatly increased. Especially the cities had grown. In 1800 New York City held about sixty thousand people; it now held two hundred thousand people. But it was in the West that the greatest growth had taken place. Since 1800 Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Missouri had all been admitted to the Union.

1800年全美国只有550万人口,此时美国有接近1300万人,并且有一个面积比之前要大得多的国家供人们居住。1800年美国的面积大约为80万平方英里,但是之后美国买了路易斯安那和佛罗里达,1830年美国的面积大约是200万平方英里,最初几个州的人口已经大大增长,特别是城市人口增加了。1800年纽约城拥有大约6万人,现在有20万人,但人口增长最快的是西部地区,从1800年以来,俄亥俄、伊利诺斯、阿拉巴马、密西西比、路易斯安那与密苏里都被承认为州。
