    		The Gambia, officially the Republic of The Gambia.

    Kunta Kinte is the central character of the novel, Roots: The Saga of an American Family by American author Alex Haley. Kunta Kinte was a Muslim of the Mandinka tribe. Kunta was captured and brought as a slave to Annapolis, Maryland, and later sold to a plantation owner in Spotsylvania County, Virginia near the present-day rural community of Partlow.
