The main reason why African Americans wanted their own land was because they can grow their own crops and also because they were able to take care of their own family.
The white Americans took blacks from Africa. They put them in a boat nude, and shipped them to America as slaves. They separated the blacks from their family. The slave masters did cruel things to these African slaves. This why African-Americans live in the United States. If the Americans never shipped blacks to America, blacks today would be in Africa. Also, this is why we have racism in America.
about 11% of the US population, or 34,210,000 African Americans.
To add to this answer I would like to say that you can find all types of things in the blood as well as characteristics of African Americans. The African slaves were frequently raped by all types of Europeans i.e. freckles are characteristics of Irish individuals... ATLRealist Yes. I am African American and I have freckles all over my face, some on my shoulders, and some on my hands. Both of my parents are black and neither one of them has freckles but my aunt on my father's side of the family, has freckles as well.
These are not related to the African violet family, they are in the lily family.
It has not been established that African-Americans dopreserve their family heritage more than other American groups.
It hurts the African Americans.
The African Americans felt terrible. They were sad and angry because they missed their families. The African Americans knew that they would never be able to see their family again.
They are still called African Americns because they have a history of African Americans in their family, even though they have never been to Africa.

Because of the horrors of slavery and dehumanization of African Americans' ancestors many haven't a record of their family line and connection to where they are truly from. Some say parts of West Africa, based on DNA, but not all are entirely trusting of that.
They wanted to reconnect with family members.
