Hi List, Upon researching the words "Black Dutch People" today, this is the result I was given while using an encyclopedia search engine: Alabama (Land and People) Alabama (Land and People)Except for the southern edge of the APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS, in the northeast, Alabama consists mostly of rolling plains drained by the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers. The fertile Black Belt is located in central Alabama. The climate is subtropical and humid. More than 60% of the population lives in urban areas, principally in BIRMINGHAM, a steel center; MOBILE, a major U.S. port; MONTGOMERY, the capital; and HUNTSVILLE, an aerospace center. The population in 1990 was 73.6% white and 25.3% African American, with the remainder in other groups.
