In early U.S. history, ships carrying slaves frequently came to America across the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico to dock in the Mississippi delta at Louisiana. At this time, the South was also known for its various plantation economy, and access from the Gulf of Mexico gave rise to easy access to new slaves. Therefore, Louisiana had a large slave population, and slavery was still legal in the South until the Civil War.
