African Americans slaves got to America becuase: African tribes where capturing other African tribes and trading them to the whites to become slaves. When the capturing tribes ran out of tribes to capture and trade to the whites, the white captured them and took them back to America. That is how the Africans got to America to become slaves.
When the Europeans colonized the islands in the Caribbean sea, they brought African slaves with them to do much of the physical labor, such as working the sugarcane plantations. This was common in many other places across North, central, and south America and many other colonies settled by Europeans. Slaves were freed after many decades, and some slaves had been in the Carribean for several generations. As such, they felt more connected to their Caarribean culture than a distance and little known African culture, so when slavery was abolished and they were granted their freedom, most stayed in their current homes.
In early America, mostly. In the world, absolutely not. Our word "slave" comes from the world "slav," a European (white) people who were apparently taken as slaves a lot back in the day. Slaves could also be captured enemy soldiers of any nation, especially in the ancient world, when slavery was extremely common. Later on, kidnapping African tribesmen became the most profitable form of slavery.
