It's come up enough its almost a cliche. But I think it's an interesting thought to get stuck into. The idea of African-American sovereignty, either as 'the 49th state in the Union' or as independent state is a long one that runs the gamut of the ideological spectrum from communists through liberals and out onto the acolytes of the Black Dragon Society. It's also tied up with the Pan-African movement which often proposed an outright migration of African-Americans back to Africa to overthrow European colonialism.
The most obvious geographical location is the historical Black Belt, but this alone carries issues. How do you convince the white dominated states to relinquish territory, in some areas enough to effectively abolish themselves? What about African-Americans outside this area, such as in Chicago? And assuming you get over that, what are the consequences for other ethnic groups, such as Native Americans, and non-Anglophone communities?
