The African Slaves: A Perspective on American History by Kordell Searles, Jack Garrard

The African slaves are a diaspora (which means they are from many different parts of the same region) from Africa, brought to the United States in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Pre-1492, they lived in the region now called Africa. Geographical features that would have limited this group’s ability to move include: Sahara Dessert and Atlantic Ocean. Pre-1492, this group probably interacted with its neighbors, especially the British, the English, and other African tribes. Eventually, the Africans would shape American history in the following ways: by fighting with the North against the South in the Civil War and by making up 12.3 present of American population, they also have part of a shameful history in america because of slavery.
