A. southern Mississippi
Reason: The "Deep South" (Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia) had the warm climate and fertile river-bottom soils that supported large antebellum cotton plantations. Western Virginia was mountainous and not cotton country, and southern Florida was sparsely settled and unsuitable for large cotton plantations.
