I got a question for you: Celie is a poor, uneducated, 14-year-old girl living in the American South in the early 1900s. She writes letters to God because her father, Alphonso, beats her harshly and rapes her continuously. Alphonso has already impregnated Celie once, a pregnancy that resulted in the birth of a boy she called Adam. Alphonso takes the baby away shortly after his birth. Celie has a second child, a girl she called Olivia whom Alphonso also abducts. Celie's ailing mother dies after cursing Celie on her deathbed.

Based on this passage, where did celie live in the color purple?
Let's think first:
The relevant sentence in the passage is: Celie is a poor, uneducated, 14-year-old girl living in the American South in the early 1900s.
Therefore, the answer is the American South.
