The islands were producing far more agriculturally at this time then the mainland, so it make sense that the first African slaves went to Hispaniola. The crops that were being grown during the 16th and 17 century in this area were very labor intensive. Due to disease and all that, that native Taino population on the island was wiped out and it was therefore necessary for the Spanish plantation owners to look elsewhere for cheap labor. The beginning of the slave trade comes about after pretty much the same sequence of events everywhere in the Americas, just at different times. Need for increased labor --> loss of native population from disease --> slave trade

They didn't. Africans were often kidnapped by colonists to be slaves in America. That statement is not correct. Do your homework. Some were kidnapped and not by colonist, but slave traders. Others were sold by their own people. They either owed a debt, were captives of war, criminals, or had charges made up to make them look like criminals, to be sold off for a profit.
No, Haitian is not African. The black Haitian with mostly African hair are exslaves from Africa. But, don't forget before we ( African were brought to haiti by the white man)came to haiti there were other people there and occupied the whole island which the white man has called hispanola, those people are black and look like African with the exception of their fair hair, and called themselves and the island HAITI, which mean Green Mountain.So Haitian is not African. In my family with serve two types of spririt and both of them are very different, the African spirit and the Haitian spirit. Iam a Haitian African. The question is, what is % of Haitian & African do I have. But, I do know that I have two types of spirit to serve. African and Haitian.
Kunta Kinte was the fictional ancestor of author Alex Haley in the quasi-historical novel "Roots". He was a composite character of what Haley imagined slaves brought to the United States from Africa were like. According to the story, Kunta Kinte came from the Mandinka tribe of Northwestern Africa; so would have resembled them.
Made their prospects of freedom look more remote than ever.
Like all the other 100s of African American males. . .
Michael Jackson's children do have African American traits but the thing is that they are bi-racial meaning that their mother was American and their father was African American. If you see them in person, they do look half American and half African American.
