Stop repeating this myth. Most slaves were actually taken directly from Africa due to needing certain skills from certain ethnics.
And after slavery migrations actually went BOTH WAYS. There are actually some Bahamians that have coastal SC/GA AA ancestry.
Isn't French a Latin language? People need to understand that Latino is not exclusive to Spanish speaking people. Latin America=romance languages(French, Spanish, Portuguese) of the New World and thus "Latin America." Brazilians are also Latino since they speak a Latin language. Haiti is not only apart of Latin America but was the FIRST Latin American country.
I think over 90% of Black Americans have been in the US since 1808, when the external slave trade was outlawed. Before then, most came from Africa but some also came from the Caribbean.
When you think about it, black folks as a population have been here longer than a vast majority of white people who want to claim the country as theirs

True. But slave owners especially from the Carolinas and Georgia needed slaves that were skilled in rice cultivation. You were not getting that skill from the Caribbean who's slave plantations were mostly if not all sugar plantations. Those slave owners who needed rice cultivation would need to get slaves directly from the "rice coast" of West Africa.
Nah AA are not the least African. Puerto Ricans And Dominicans Average the least.
AA average alittle below Haitians and the Anglo Caribbean. Latin Americans are way less African. It's pretty obvious AA are more African.
This chart does not measure ethnic AAs.
Afro-Brasilians seem like the most proud out of the diaspora.
I thought you hated "swine blood"?
During slavery some slaves were taken between plantations in the Caribbean and the USA. The perfect example are the slaves that were taken by the French from Haiti to New Orleans during the Haitian revolution. Some English planters had plantations in Virginia and South Carolina and some slaves were moved between those plantations and some plantations in places like Jamaica.
You are thinking about the proving grounds were Black people were broken in order to be made slaves in the Caribbean and in South America.
Um... No. New Orleans does not represent the USA slave system. Like I said most slaves were taken directly from Africa due to needing certain skill. Interesting you bring up South Carolina when the Carolinas and Georgia for the most part like I said in another post took slaves directly from the Rice Coast of West Africa due to needing those slaves for rice cultivation. You were NOT getting slaves with skilled rice cultivation from tge Caribbean who were mostly use to the chopping sugar canes.
Yes, SOME slaves were moved in between plantations but they were not the majority.
Senegambian peoples, many of whom were Muslims, were some of the first enslaved Africans brought to America. Many of these Senegambians were familiar with rice cultivation and as European settlers experimented with rice in the 17th century, these Senegambians passed on their knowledge, thus shaping the development of rice cultivation in America. Thereafter, planters in South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana preferred enslaved Africans from Senegambia because of their experience in rice cultivation. This would explain in part why Americans imported a relatively large proportion of Senegambians. In French Louisiana, a captain was instructed "to try to purchase several blacks who know how to cultivate rice.
MANA - Muslim Alliance in North America
Like I said slaves in America were needed for their SKILL and thus imported directly from Africa.
