The Gullah Geechee are African Americans with ancestral roots in the Southeastern U.S., from southeastern North Carolina all the way down to northeastern Florida. Their ancestors, taken from West and Central Africa between the early 1600s and the 1850s, were forced into labor due to their skills and strength. To preserve their heritage, they created the Gullah Geechee language by blending native African languages with English.
