Best Answer

Since the southern states had slaves during this time period, one of the southern states such as Georgia, Alabama, or South Carolina would most likely have had the largest percent of African Americans at this time.

In 1790, South Carolina had the largest African American population, at 43.7%. The numbers have since changed greatly -- the state which currently holds the title is Mississippi, at 37.3%.
