In no States except Maryland and Texas did the foreign born number as many as 100,000 in 1910, and Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina each had less than 10,000 at that time.

The highest percentage of foreign born was 8.6 per cent in Delaware, the lowest 0.3 per cent in North Carolina.

In the South as a whole the proportion of foreign born whites was only 2.5 per cent.
The laborers in the Southern shops and mills today are not only native born but almost altogether Southern born.

The South has been a great loser through interstate migration.

Other sections also have lost but the excess of those departing has been replaced by the immigration of foreign born.
