African Americans have been present ever since the late 1600's. They have been through a lot, from pain to liberty and happiness. They first where brought to America as slaves and where distributed around the world but only as slaves. They came from Africa and Europeans also Americans captured them and used them as laborers for their works. Through out time they became a group used all over America.
  
 The first group of African Americans landed in America in 1619 and were sold my Dutch men to the settlers at Jamestown. In the 17th century there was over 1,300,000 Africans in U.S. This group have lived in Africa ever since the first human beings. Africans were only used for labors. They were slave for settlers who needed help and then continued on being a distribution of workers. Africans then bbecame a group thanks to the use they were utilized, as slaves. Ever since they came in US they became a group. Africans throughout Africa were normal people but since they were brought to US they were mistreated and seen as savages. They had no rights, no life or no reason to live like other white men. Actually they were treated worse than animals. Pretty much said this group of Africans were not strong at all until years later. By research African American made up a percentage of 12.5% but that was up to 2005 now it should be at least 30%.


  Africans treated as useless people in those years are now seen as a powerful group. They were held up to 1865 were then they had their rights and interests to live in. The black community grew up a lot by the 1800's. Where many Black heroes led a difference to their community. By these people the community was able to get put that gutter and into a world with equality and reasonable rights.
