By Mika Bolton♥ African Americans had a rough life. They were put threw slavery and they didn’t have a choice because of their skin color. Slavery started in the early 1400’s. Britan was taking ships over to Africa and taking natives to America were they worked on plantations with no pay. Most slaves used the railroad to escape and most ended up dieing by running away.
 * African American History﻿ **

Every culture has been impacted in one way or another by slavery the Brits where slaves to the Romans it just goes on and on until about 100-200 years ago when the government realized they could make even more money off of them all by enslaving them to rules and laws dictated by them Romans. Twelve million Africans were shipped to the Americas from the 16th to the 19th centuries. An estimated 645,000 were brought to what is now the United States. They were first brought here in the 1619 to pick cotton and tobacco leaves for the whites. The whites thought they were better than then the Africans no matter what. Slavery ended 100 years ago in the United States. But before that Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emansipation Proclamatin and freed many slaves in the South.
