The Gullah people are descendants of enslaved Africans brought to the coastal regions of South Carolina and Georgia, particularly the Sea Islands, during the transatlantic slave trade. They have preserved much of their African cultural heritage, language, and traditions, which are distinct from mainstream American culture.
