What are the orgins of the African slave trade?
The African slave trade was actually started as early as 869 when Muslim traders sold items to the Africans and the African kings actually traded with their own people! But what most people think about the African slave trade and the southern states in the United States comes much later. The Dutch were the first people to transport slaves to North America, but black slaves have already been sold around the world. Contrary to people's belief, the Dutch did not really have to use force to get the slaves, instead all they had to do was contact the king of the tribe and just as the Muslim traders had done, just pay the king and he would give you his people. These are numbers that I have found that show an estimate on how many slaves were sold to these major countries. Portugal/Brazil: 4,650,000 Spain: 1,600,000 France: 1,250,000 Holland: 500,000 Britain: 2,600,000 U.S.A.: 300,000 Denmark: 50,000 Others: 50,000 Total: 11,000,000

What immigrant group was an exception and how many were forcibly brought here?
The immigrants in question were the African slaves. They were an exception because they were brought here forcibly as a part of the African slave trade which had been ongoing to a lesser degree within Africa and Europe for quite some time. Some estimate the total number of slaves that were taken from Africa to "The New World" (as far as South America to the South and as far north as Alaska) to be as high as 12 million. It is estimated that up to 1/4 of those did not survive the journey.
