Just look at a map. If you consider the mid-South roughly those regions along the Mississippi River delta, you've found it. Vast numbers of Africans were brought to this region in chains from their native lands, moved cross country from the Atlantic coast, and inland from Jamaica, Haiti, and the Caribbean.
