Loretta, are you flying a Delta partner airline? Because Delta's website clearly states that two checked bags are okay.
Domestic U.S. Baggage Allowances
Delta accepts a maximum of two checked baggage items free of charge for each ticketed passenger, in addition to one carry-on bag, plus one personal item. Delta's codeshare partners may have different guidelines and additional restrictions may apply on certain flights*.
Check two bags and carry on one bag, plus one personal item
*Customers traveling to or from Key West, Florida are limited to 1 checked bag.
Additional baggage may be accepted for an excess baggage fee. All baggage must meet the size and weight limits. Luggage carts count toward your bag allowance.
We may limit the amount of excess baggage when such excess prevents us from carrying each traveler's free baggage allowance.

In addition to the one carry-on item, you can still bring one personal item such as:
a male or female purse

a camera case
a diaper bag
an item of a similar size or smaller size to those listed above
