Yes, there were people who came from Africa to the Americas that were not sold as slaves. While the exact number is hard to determine, more people from Africa came to America as slaves rather than as free men.

Why did america use africans for slaves instead of indians?

Most of the native North Americans, like the native South Americans, were killed off within a few decades of contact with Europeans by disease. As much as 90% reduction in population. Columbus made slaves of the natives on the islands until they were sharply reduced and his colonists started bringing in Africans as slaves. The ones that did not die did not make good slaves because Native Americans could easily escape - they knew the country, knew how to live off the country, knew the language, and wouldn't have any problems being on their own. Africans, on the other hand, didn't know the language, didn't know the country, were totally unaccustomed to the type of terrain, climate, available 'wild' food etc.etc.etc. If they escaped, they had nowhere to go.


Why were africans traded as slaves?

The short and simple answer is that they were not seen as humans, but as savages. The Africans that the pioneers found in their travels were usually simple hunters. They were capable of building only simple structures, hunting and gathering, and growing crops. Their social structures, if any, were unsophisticated compared to Europe and Asia. The pioneers saw this as a great opportunity for very cheap and abundant labor. They proceeded to ship the Africans back to America and made them do all of their hard labor.

African slave trade was for greed of gold and trade objects. The American slave trade was based on economically standards and labor.

The Africans would assimilate their slaves, where once in America slaves were stripped of everything; clothes, language, religion and identity. For fear/belief that Africans would revolt.
