Afroamericans in USA

The blacks began coming to USA in the 1600 century as slaves owned by the colonial countries like England, Spain, Netherlands and France. These countries had colonies in West Africa and in America where they exported the black people to. The slaves where already slaves or if they not had enough slaves they where capturing black people in the jungle. The conditions on the ship over the Atlantic were very bad because the people lay in lays.
