I believe it means back when slavery was around most of the African Americans were in the South and most of them tried to escape but couldn’t. So therefore it’s sayin that since they left and when the civil war ended and all that and when slavery was abolished the South was their home now, and so that’s why today African Americans live mostly in the South.
