历史学家泰德-维德默（Ted Widmer）讲述了美国人口普查的精彩故事，从革命战争时期的起源一直到 2020 年版的公民身份问题争议。南北战争、向西扩张和新技术改变了美国，它又如何改变了人口普查？随着特朗普政府将人口普查政治化，所有美国居民和未来版本的人口普查将面临怎样的风险？
Historian Ted Widmer tells the fascinating story of the United States Census, from its Revolutionary War origins up to the citizenship question controversy of the 2020 edition. As the Civil War, westward expansion, and new technology changed America, how did it change the Census? And with the Trump administration politicizing the count, what are the stakes for all U.S. residents and future versions?
This article references Widmer's May 2019 New Yorker article, "How the Census Changed America" and Chris Dick's June 27 Washington Post opinion piece, "The 2020 Census is still at risk."
