Congo Square, New Orleans

evidence

Enslaved and free people of African descent gathered on Sundays at the ground beyond Rampart Street to drum, dance, sing and trade; an 1817 municipal measure confined such gatherings to that plot; observers describe the bamboula and a pattern counted as three plus three plus two, and crowds of several hundred by 1819. V55 verification basis: retrieved in search summary across several public-history accounts; none was opened, and the 1817 measure is described in them variously as an ordinance and as a mayoral decree.

A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
