The Black Belt is a region of the U.S. state of Alabama. The term originally referred to the region's rich, black soil, much of it in the soil order Vertisols. The term took on an additional meaning in the 19th century, when the region was developed for cotton plantation agriculture, in which the workers were enslaved African Americans. After the American Civil War, many freedmen stayed in the area as sharecroppers and tenant farmers, continuing to comprise a majority of the population in many of these counties.

  • La regione chiamata Black Belt si trova nello stato USA dell'Alabama, e fa parte della più ampia regione del degli Stati Uniti del Sud, che spazia dallo stato del Texas fino alla Virginia. Questa regione include alcune delle più povere contee degli Stati Uniti. Il nome si riferisce originariamente al sottile strato di terra nera eccezionalmente fertile presente in queste contee, cosa che incoraggiò lo sviluppo delle piantagioni di cotone nel periodo dei pionieri della storia dell'Alabama. Attualmente però, il riferimento viene dato in base all'eccezionale numero di Afroamericani che risiedono in queste contee. (it)
