It is true in the United States as much as it is true everywhere else in the world. The population is exploding in size. At the time of the U.S. revolution there were less than 3 million Americans who existed. It is estimated that by the year 2100 there will be well over 500 million. Here now is a list of the U.S. population growth since the American Revolution which demonstrates just how quickly populations rise:
- 1780 -- 2,780,400
- 1800 -- 5,308,483
- 1820 -- 9,638,453
- 1840 -- 17,069,453
- 1860 -- 31,443,321
- 1880 -- 50,189,209
- 1900 -- 76,212,168
- 1920 -- 106,021,537
- 1940 -- 132,164,569
- 1960 -- 179,323,175
- 1980 -- 226,545,805
- 2000 -- 281,421,906
- 2010 -- 309,162,581 (est.)
