B. to spread evenly.

Because, if they are localized they are in one spot and not spread evenly, but if they distributed them it would be equally, not localized.

The word distributed means to spread evenly. It is because the colored slaves were not spread evenly  in the union, rather they were localized in the Southern part.

Who are slaves?

Slaves worked under their masters, and were forbidden to leave or resign from the job. Slaves were treated like their properties by the owners and sometimes they had to spend their whole life working under their master.

The word distributed best describes to spread evenly in the sentence, as the slaves were only localized in the Southern part and were not spread evenly in the union.

Therefore, option, B, to spread evenly, is correct.
