When using 'including'
In the following sentence:
Virginia secedes from the Union, followed within five weeks by Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina, thus forming an eleven state Confederacy with a population of 9 million, including nearly 4 million slaves.
does 'including' mean 'in addition to' (as in 13 million total)? What's the general rule?
