More west African slaves were taken to Latin America than the amount that was taken to the U.S. only approximately 8% of the slaves came to the U.S. That is why many latinos are black or have African ancestry

What is the difference between Americans and African Americans?

The biggest difference is CULTURE; yes both are of the same race, which is understandable but culturally Africans(traditional tribal culture) and African Americans(westernized American culture) are very different. As a result both communities see things differently when it comes to many things that make up culture when it comes to language(which is different from one African country to another), customs, traditional practices(engagements, weddings, naming ceremonies), how the children are raised, traditional family practices, education, certain community beliefs(certain beliefs & influences African Americans do or except are not accepted in the African community) and etc. Not to add that by nationality African Americans are born in America and Africans are not, except the first or second generation Africans(or American born Africans). so in conclusion both communties are different, just because both communities are black is irrelevant(the only similarity that the race may bring between both of the communities is that both communities have experienced racism in westernized world's but the way it has been dealt with within each of the communities has been different).


How did the 54th regiment change the face of war?

The Massachusetts 54th was the first Civil-War regiment of African Americans, thus they were the first Union Regiment to be all-black (albeit heavily segregated, with white officers). In a literal sense, by adding black men to US Army ranks, the 'face' was no longer white-only. Clarification: African Americans, including both slaves and freedmen had fought in all American wars since the revolution, albeit not in race-organized units.
