  1. Some blacks' ancestry in the U.S. go back to early colonial days, the 1600s.  Some were brought over in the early 1800s.


  2. The Spanish brought African slaves to Haiti (which was then called Hispanola) in 1513.  It was another 100 years before the first Africans arrived in Virginia in 1619.  

    Haiti abolished slavery in 1804, so not many Africans arrived after that date.  But the United States continued to import slaves from Africa until 1807 or later.  

    Soooo... it's probably safe to say that most black families from Haiti have been away from Africa longer than most black families in the U.S.

  3. Haiti

    1517 Africans began being imported to Haiti

    1804 The only successful slave revolt gave Haitian slaves freedom and gained control of the whole country which became independent from France the French slave owners either left or were killed. Haiti was the first black independent country in the new world and has been for 204 years now

    8,532,367 98% of Haiti is of predominately African decent mostly pure ancestry only 3% are mixed ancestry

    174,130 2% of Haiti's population is other races

    USA

    1619 First African slaves arrived but were freed after a while

    1654 Slave institution was established that Africans/Blacks would now be enslaved for life.

    1670 African slaves being imported became atively established

    1807 Importation of Africans is outlawed

    1865 Slavery abolished

    38,167,719 Africa American 12.7% of USA's population

    70% of African Americans have mixed ancestry either European, Native American or both. 30% Are predominately black.

    So no Haitians ancestors have been there 102 years before any African Americans ancestor could of possibly been in North America.

  4. no
