The white Americans took blacks from Africa. They put them in a boat nude, and shipped them to America as slaves. They separated the blacks from their family. The slave masters did cruel things to these African slaves. This why African-Americans live in the United States. If the Americans never shipped blacks to America, blacks today would be in Africa. Also, this is why we have racism in America.
Yes and no. Obviously, some black people who live in the USA have never been to Africa. But the name evolved over the past 100 years, as a way to refer to (and pay homage to) the sad fact that many black Americans are descendants of slaves, who were brought here against their will in the 1700s and early 1800s. Actually, black people in the US used to be called "negroes" and "colored people." In fact, that is what the newspapers and magazines called them until the mid-1900s, when first the name "Afro-American" and then the name "African-American" came into common use.
Someone's race doesn't dictate where they travel.Many people have english decent but never travel to england. And there are many people who wouldn't visit Africa, irrelevant of their race.
In the south there were no "free African Americans ". All African Americans in the southern states were slaves. Therefore, slaves owners didn't create problems for free African Americans because they never met a free slaves.

i hate this website cause it never have the answers .
The southern half of the country kept the African-Americans as slaves. The northern states never engaged in that kind of behavior.
We are all black and we were never accepted to anything in the 1800's. And white people hated us.
Africa is a continent, not a country. African nations have never been under a single rule.
The African Americans felt terrible. They were sad and angry because they missed their families. The African Americans knew that they would never be able to see their family again.
none. blacks never do anything
Unlike most African countries, Ethiopia was never a European colony, for this reason it has been important to modern Africa as a symbol of independence
