Some theories:
 * Books – the original material, i.e. the books, were set in Eastern US and the TV series producers chose not to change that.
 * Knowledge – the producers of the TV series were more familiar with the US than Africa. E.g. they may not have sufficient knowledge of African culture to create African Grounders.
 * American show – shows are geared toward their audience. Most American TV shows are set in the US. Most British shows are set in the UK. Etc.
 * Language – if it's US, than Grounders will still use English (Trigedasleng is a slang of English).
 * Filming logistics – since they're filming in Canada, it's easier to fake a US environment than an Africa environment.
