Former slavery states.

TX, VG, and FL are the only former slave states in yellow.

So, they are still emotionally and morally affected from the days of slavery which increases stress and lowers the mean lfe expectancy?

I think that the slave Masters didn't think much higher of the common white folks.

Plus there's a slave labor/ slave oppression culture which benefits the wealthy.

It's used to drive down wages, create tension, and divide/conquer.
The local white community is also victimised by this.

Slaves is not the reason.

The US Constitution forbids slavery - except in prisons.

There's lots of "reasons" why the USA has the biggest slave prison population in the world.
