The majority of negroes lived in the Deep South where the whites were Southwest English/West Midlands/Welsh, whose largest "Celtic" presence (Britons have no genetic proximity/descend from Hallstatt, the Celtic Urheimat) is in Cornwall and Wales. Appalachians are more Scotch-Irish/Ulster Scots than them.

>The predominant culture of the original Southern states was English, particularly from South East England, South West England and the West Midlands. In the 17th century, most voluntary immigrants were of English origin and settled chiefly along the eastern coast, but had pushed as far inland as the Appalachian Mountains by the 18th century. The majority of early English settlers were indentured servants, who gained freedom after working off their passage. The wealthier men, typically members of the English landed gentry, who paid their way received land grants known as headrights to encourage settlement

>In the time of their arrival, the predominant cultural influence on the Southern states was that of the English colonists who established the original English colonies in the region. In the 17th century, most were of South West England and South East England origins, from regions such as Kent, Sussex and the West Country who settled mostly on the coastal regions of the South but pushed as far inland as the Appalachian mountains by the 18th century. In the 18th century, large groups of Scots lowlanders, Northern English and Ulster-Scots (later called the Scots-Irish) (who's ancestors were Protestants from the Scottish lowlands and Northern England) settled in Appalachia and the Piedmont. Following them were larger numbers of English indentured servants from across the English Midlands and Southern England; they would be the largest group to settle in the Southern Colonies during the colonial period. They were often called "crackers", a derogatory epithet applied to rural, non-elite whites of south Georgia and north Florida.
