Mississippi, that is.
"The Mississippi Delta is simultaneously a unique place and a place that has influenced the American story like no other. This paradox is summed up in two simple statements. Historian James Cobb has described the Delta as 'The most Southern place on earth.' At the same time, the National Park Service has said 'Much of what is profoundly American- what people love about America- has come from the delta, which is often called 'the cradle of American culture.'"
