Title: African Americans
Content:  The vast majority of those who were enslaved and transported in the transatlantic slave trade were people from Central and West Africa, who had been captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids, or sold by other West Africans, or by half-European "merchant princes" to European slave traders, who brought them to the Americas. The first African slaves arrived via Santo Domingo to the San Miguel de Gualdape colony (most likely located in the Winyah Bay area of present-day South Carolina), founded by Spanish explorer Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón in 1526. The ill-fated colony was almost immediately disrupted by a fight over 
Title: Afro-Curaçaoans
Content:  Most enslaved Africans came from West Central Africa (specifically from Loango and Cabinda Province) with over 38,000 slaves. The rest of the slaves were imported from Bight of Benin (over 37,000 slaves), Ghana (15,000 slaves came from this place, many of them were Ashantis ), Other places in Africa (3,268 slaves), Senegambia (over 2,000 slaves), Sierra Leone (only 669 slaves came from here), the Windward Coast (542 slaves) and the Bight of Biafra (over 1,000 slaves).
Title: Angolan Americans
Content:  most slaves came from within the boundaries of the modern nation-states of Nigeria and Angola. Between 1710 and 1769, only 17% of the slaves who arrived in Virginia were from Angola. Others places in the United States, such as Delaware and Indiana, also had Angolan slaves. Georgia imported also many slaves from the Congo-Angola region. Many of the Bakongo slaves who arrived in the United States in the 18th century were captured and sold as slaves by African kings to other tribes or enemies during several civil wars. Some of the people sold from Kongo to the United States were trained soldiers. In 1739, there was 
Title: African Americans (ethnicity)
Content:  African Americans history began with the Atlantic slave trade. The majority of slaves were sold to European slave traders by local African slavers. The West and Central African slavers raided other tribes and kingdoms for slaves, which they gave to Europeans in exchange for commodities such as firearms and alcohol. A smaller number of slaves were captured directly by Europeans in coastal slave raids. The slaves were taken to European slave forts located on the coasts of West and Central Africa, where they were loaded onto boats and shipped to European colonies in the Americas via the middle passage. Of the 12.5 million slaves that were shipped across the Atlantic, nearly 2 million of them died during the voyage. Approximately 388,000 of those slaves ended up in what would later become the United States.

Most African Americans are the direct descendants of captives from West Africa, who survived the slavery era within the boundaries of the present United States. As an adjective, the term is usually spelled African-American. The first West African slaves were brought to Jamestown, Virginia in 1619. The English settlers treated these captives as indentured servants and released them after a number of years. This practice was gradually replaced by the system of race-based slavery used in the Caribbean. All the American colonies had slavery, but it was usually the form of personal servants in the 
Title: Afro-Panamanians
Content:  It is difficult to pinpoint and identify the place of origin of the African slaves brought to Panama during the colonial era. According to the study of Martin Jamieson, some authors point out that most were from Guinea-Bissau. Other authors point out that the slaves came from the region between southern Senegal River and northern Angola. In fact, according to other authors, whether from 1514 began arriving Africans, brought from West Africa to work on plantations in Panama, from 1523, men and women who arrived mainly came from Guinea, Cameroon, the Congo Basin and Angola. The presence of this factor determined the ethnic-cultural core musical features of the Panamanian people. The form of 
Title: African-American history
Content:  The majority of African Americans are the descendants of Africans who were forced into slavery after being captured during African wars or raids. They were purchased and brought to America as part of the Atlantic slave trade. African Americans are descended from various ethnic groups, mostly from ethnic groups that lived in Western and Central Africa, including the Sahel. A smaller number of African Americans are descended from ethnic groups that lived in Eastern and Southeastern Africa. The major ethnic groups that the enslaved Africans belonged to included the Bakongo, Igbo, Mandé, Wolof, Akan, Fon, Yoruba, and Makua, among many others. Although these different groups varied in customs, religious theology and language, what they 
Title: African-American history
Content:  African-American history began with the arrival of Africans to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries. The European colonization of the Americas, and the resulting transatlantic slave trade, led to a large-scale transportation of enslaved Africans across the Atlantic; of the roughly 10-12 million Africans which were sold by European merchants into slavery in the Americas, approximately 388,000 landed in North America. After arriving in various European colonies in North America, the enslaved Africans were sold to white colonists, primarily to work on cash crop plantations. A group of enslaved Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia in 1619, marking the beginning of slavery in the colonial history of the United States; by 1776, roughly 20% of the 
Title: African Americans (ethnicity)
Content:  Ethnic African Americans are genetically distinct from peoples who still inhabit the West and Central African provinces from which they were originally brought from during the Atlantic slave trade. The average African American genome is 73.2% African, 24% European, and 0.8% Native American. Ninety-three percent of African Americans have ancestry from several areas in West Africa, with Nigeria being the most common place of origin. Much of the European admixture in the African American genome can be contributed to the rape of female slaves by white male slave owners.
Title: Afro-Dominicans (Dominica)
Content:  Africans were initially brought to Dominica through the slave trade. Colonial records indicate multiple countries of origin for the slaves. The records contain data on slave ship ports of embarkation, often the ethnic group of the slaves, the date of arrival in Dominica, the number of enslaved people on board and survival rates, and the boat's name. Based on these records, the majority of African slaves came from the Bight of Biafra, of present-day south-eastern Nigeria (Igbo, Ibibio) and coastal Cameroon. comprising 62% of the 57,000 slaves imported to Dominica. Other slaves were from Senegal, Gambia, Sierra Leone (4.8% ), Windward Coast (11%), Liberia particularly people of the Bassa's of the Kru ethnic group, Ghana (3%, Akan, ) Benin (1%), the Popo Kingdom, Congo-Brazzaville (Loango Kingdom (82 individuals), Angola (Ambundu) and Southeast of Africa (670 individuals), the Congo and Angola (6.7%). Other slaves in Dominica belonged to the Yoruba, Ewe, Fula, Kongo and Wolof ethnic groups. The word "Kwéyòl" designates that Creole dialect of Dominica.
