| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Negro Race |
 | | Negro slavery was then brought to an end in the United States, when, in the interest of the Union and as a military measure, President Lincoln issued his Proclamation of Emancipation (1 January, 1863). | | | The figures warrant the belief that between one-sixth and one-ninth of the negro population of the Continental United States have been regarded by four groups of enumerators as bearing evidence of an admixture of white blood. | | | Taken together there are probably about 4,000,000 negroes who profess Protestantism in the United States. |

| | negro - definition of negro in Encyclopedia |
| | From the 18th century to the mid-20th century "negro" was considered the correct and proper term for African Americans, but fell out of favor by the 1970s in the United States. | | | In some other places such as Argentina, negro is used as a common word, usually to refer to friends, or people in general, and does not have much of a racist connotation. | | | In current English language usage, the word is generally considered acceptable only in a historical context or in the name of older organizations such as the United Negro College Fund. |
