African American History (ePub)

The African-American history is fragment of America's history
which precisely converses the Black American traditional groups
staying in United States of America. Maximum of this
population are original people of Africa who were deliberately
brought and kept in confinement in the United States of
America from 1555 to 1865. Many blacks whose ancestors had
emigrated from the Caribbean to America are also considered
to be African-American as their roots go back to Central or
West Africa.
They have been referred by many names in the American
history like 'Negro' and 'coloured', these terms are no more
acceptable, African-American is an acceptable term and has a
different implication completely.
Precisely what fragment of the African-American population is of
exclusively African descent is unknown. In the past hundreds of
years there has been a substantial mix of people from Africa
with Europeans and American-Indians. Factually, the principal
approach to racial group association in the United States of
America has been that people having any Black-African roots
are considered to be African-American.
The book discusses how they made their way to America and
settled down here forcibly and adapted to the new
environment. Their struggle to get their basic rights and how
they finally came up emergent and now freely roam the soils
of America with heads held high.
