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.
