Despite having an area comparable to China and Europe, America has a much smaller population. I know that that is because almost all of the Natives got sick and died/were murdered. But the Question still remains: How many people could America support?
I don't think we could pull China numbers, but Europe's numbers seem much more doable, as the climates of Europe and America are much closer, and with Europe's population density, the USA would have a population of 718 Million People, more than two times what we have now. Given the quality of America's farmland (especially in the Mississippi basin) I would guess America could just be able to support 1 Billion people.
Do you guys think that statement is accurate?
