list the countries that the african americans came from as slaves?

Answer 1

Why? Are you trying to repatriated the descendants of those slaves back to the countries they came from in an effort to set things right? If so I’m with you.

Answer 2

I can't be sure about the numbers, but all were imported from that flat part of Africa stretching (nowadays) from Liberia through Nigeria, after being taken captive by their more enterprising fellows. During the slave-trading years none of these had a notion of becoming a country. Anyhow the trade centred on the Bight of Benin and didn't wander much off it. Which of course makes the study of Swahili in US schools absurd, as none of the slaves would have understood a word of it.

Answer 3

The amusing thing is that the slaves were sold into slavery by other african tribes, yet we always hear the English an Americans were at fault. Their own people did it!

Answer 4

Here are the regions of Africa where the slaves came from and what percentage they accounted for. Am I doing your homework for you? LOL

Senegambia 479,900 4.7
Upper Guinea 411,200 4.0
Windward Coast 183,200 1.8
Gold Coast 1,035,600 10.1
Blight of Benin 2,016,200 19.7
Blight of Biafra 1,463,700 14.3
West Central 4,179,500 40.8
South East 470,900 4.6

Total 10,240,200 100.
