Interesting how slavery follows the Mississippi river and is centered around the cities in a lot of places. I suppose only the wealthy could afford to own slaves, and the wealth was near the cities.

I always thought of slavery as being centered around rural agriculture, but this map shows that was not necessarily always the case.
