Why did the African-Americans move to the us?

Most people who define themselves as African American are descendants or great-great-grand children of African slaves that were sold to slave traders to be brought to America on ships and sold to plantation owners to work in the home or field. So they were brought to America against their will and did not willfully move here. In Africa one tribe would conquer another tribe and make them their slaves or sell them to slave traders.


How did slaves feel about the white people who slaved them?

How would you feel about someone who captured you? Obviously the slaves hated their captors, because they took them away from their home and their family and treated them like animals. Most slaves never revolted or ran because they were scared of being beaten or killed. They had to do what their "masters" told them to in order to survive. You should watch Roots, it explains a lot about slavery and just how bad it was.
