One of the richest histories in the world is that of African people. We will be looking at the African American History over the years and the impact that have had over the years. To begin with, the Africans are currently spread in America. They are an important component of USA history. Most of these black people in US are descendants of some former slaves.
However, there are those that settle in US because of marriages and immigration and have become an important part of the society. Many black Americans trace their origin to West Africa. It is because of this transatlantic trade. The Trans-Atlantic trade connected three continents that include the America, Europe, and Africa.
The Europeans who were the first to conquer America were in search of cheap labor, which could be found in Africa. The trade pushed the African communities into selling delinquent community members who had committed serious crimes that were unaccepted.
In some areas communities engaged in the war so that they could capture more slaves that they could use to get products that the European people had. It is this trade that exposed Africa to the rest of the world and later led to the scramble and partition of Africa. The farm lands in America needed people who could work on them because the natives were dying, and their numbers were dwindling because of harsh conditions.
People also loved Africans since they were hardworking and could endure even the harshest of the conditions. The trade gained popularity such that Europe developed fast compared to other countries. The first black individual to get into America did so because of this trade.
Their population grew leading to them being a part of the current population in America. With time, this slave trade was abolished, and the former slaves and their children could be free to talk and interact with others. Nonetheless, racism grew and took root despite this slave trade being abolished.
People of the white decent did not feel comfortable to share the same amenities with the black people, and it led to segregation in the society. Leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. Led to a new revolution that championed for an equitable society. They took demonstrations to the streets to champion for the abolishment of certain laws that created a separation in the community.
Martin Luther King Jr. Led peaceful demonstrations ushered a new era in America. Now the blacks could be employed in offices like the other white people, and the society would now share every public amenity without discrimination. Many years after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. A black American in the name of Barrack Obama took the reign of power. It was one of those biggest milestones towards a cohesive society. The black citizens in the current age are the descendants of these slaves, and some have immigrated to America looking for greener pastures. They are now part of one of greatest nations in the world The United States of America.
