Can someone explain population growth to me? How did Black Americans grow from 700k in 1790 to 48 million in 2024?

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

700,000 (1.6) ^ 9 = 48 million

2024 - 1790 = 234 years / 25 years per generation = 9.36 generations (let's say 9)

Black women have a fertility rate of around 1.6

There you go breh
