TRIBALISM=RACISM next time dont complain about racism because you and your people are TRIBALISTS.

BANTU AND MANDES rivalled the number of Biafran slaves in Chesapeake/VA area. While in the DEEP SOUTH the Biafran slaves were minority 2% in South Carolina and 6% in Lousiana. Meaning they had no influence.
While Upper colinies like NEW YORK AND MASSACHUSSETS imported mainly slaves from Senegambia and Ghana.

PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT SLAVERY BEFORE MAKING "FALSE CLAIMS". Because at the end of the day ul look STUPID.

If u wanna see which AFRICAN ETHNICITIES were sent where pls visit this link. It shows everything from North, Central and South America, even West Indies.

Note:The some records are incomplete. Let me complete the puzzle for ya'll.
VIRGINIA
Was dominated by Biafrans at 38% and rivals were Senegambia 26.5% and Bantus 20%, then Gold Coast 16%.

SOUTH CAROLINA-GEORGIA
Dominated by Senegambia 43%
Angola-Congo 40%
Then Gold Coast 16%

LOUISIANA
Louisiana was majority SENEGAMBIAN 1719-1760 then replaced by Angola-Congo Bantus onwards 1760-1820.
Senegambia slaves in Louisiana were 30% overall and Bantus 35.6% in 1800s and around 40% in later stages. The process of removal of Mandes by Bantus in Louisiana and South carolina-Georgia is called CONGOLIZATION by Dr Kelvin Roberts in his book.

1ST AFRICAN SLAVES IMPORTED TO VIRGINIA ARRIVED IN 1619 AND WERE FROM ANGOLA/CONGO.

IN 1808 WHEN SLAVERY WAS ILLEGAL IN USA "ILLIEGAL SLAVE TRADE" MOST SLAVES IMPORTED IN THIS ERA WERE FROM ANGOLA/CONGO.

My Slave Ancestors: From Angola?
Tracing Your Roots: A DNA test leads to questions, and a search for answers in historical records.

(The Root) --

"My father's family just got our African-Ancestry test back, and on our matrilineal side, we were traced to Angola. I was shocked, because I was under the impression that most slaves from Angola ended up elsewhere in the Americas, not in the United States. I'd like to know the percentage of Angolans that ended up in the U.S. What was their typical point of entry? Do you have any info about genealogy records that might help me establish Angolan ties? --Diamond Sharp

You had your mitochondrial DNA tested. Mitochondrial DNA is passed down from a mother to her children, so this test traces a person's mother's mother's mother's line, back for generations. All children inherit this identical genetic signature from their mothers, but only daughters pass it down from generation to generation. Accordingly, it is an ideal way to trace the maternal branch of a person's family back hundreds, even thousands, of years.

One of the biggest surprises about the history of the slave trade to the United States is the high percentage of our ancestors who were shipped to this country from Angola.[size=8pt][/size][img] African Americans have traditionally thought of Ghana and Senegal as our most common ancestral homes on the African continent, but almost half of all of the slaves arriving in this country were shipped here from two sources: Senegambia, yes, but also, Angola.

The slave trade from Angola to the New World began in the 16th century and continued (illegally) until 1860. It is estimated that, incredibly, there were more than 5 million slaves who came to the Western Hemisphere from Angola; more than half went to Brazil. Far fewer, in terms of absolute numbers, came to the U.S. (since the U.S. received dramatically fewer numbers of slaves than did Brazil, or even Haiti or Cuba or Jamaica, for instance). But the percentage from Angola was comparatively high.

According to historians Linda Heywood and John Thornton, we know that the first "20 and odd" Africans imported into Virginia in 1619 came from Angola. In fact, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, of the 388,000 Africans who landed in the various ports in North America over the entire course of the slave trade, 40 percent, or over 93,000 of them, came from Angola. In other words, an African American has about a one in 3rd chance of being descended from these Central Africans.

It is possible that your Angolan maternal ancestor arrived in Virginia or New York or at another major port such as Charleston or New Orleans between 1619 and 1807. But the first ship that brought the Angolans to Virginia was the White Lion, whose crew captured a Portuguese slave ship, the São João Batista, and took some of the slaves it was carrying to Veracruz, Mexico.

In 1808, the U.S. government made the importation of slaves into America illegal, but the illegal slave trade brought in many Angolans after that. The selling and trading of slaves in domestic markets was still allowed. If you are able to trace your enslaved ancestors back to an original owner, it might be possible to find more information about your ancestors' arrival.

DEEP SOUTH(South Carolina/Georgia and Louisiana/Mississippi)
1st slaves imported into SC were Barbadian slaves of Ghanaian origin, then SENEGAMBIANS and then the BANTUS came in big numbers and between 1670-1730 70% of South Carolina slaves were of Angola Congo origin. Hence Stono rebellion in 1739

LOUSIANA/MISSIPPI
1st slaves were SENEGAMBIANS and were later OUT NUMBERED by BANTUS of Angola/congo.

@Handof Chukwu
Let me LECTURE U ABOUT AFRICAN HISTORY FLAT HEAD. SA UNIVERSITY AREN'T RANKED IN TOP 10 IN AFRICA FOR NOTHING. Europeans looked down on Igbo slaves especially males as they were lazy,suicidal and dumb

Kongo Kingdom supplied the largest number of Slaves to
USA=Angola-Congo 35%-40%, West Africa 55%-60% mainly Senegambia
Cuba=40% Angola-Congo
Haiti=Angola-Congo 50%
Brazil=Angola-Congo 70%and Suriname=Angola-Congo 40%
and other small Carribean islands Bahamas,Caricao,St Kitts,St Thomas.

In these areas/countries mentioned above they imported more ANGOLA-CONGO SLAVES than any other African region.FACT.

NOTE: Europeans liked Angola-Congolese for STAMINA and hardowrk hence they were mainly used for GANG LABOUR. While for HOUSE NEGRO work Europeans liked Senegambians.

FREE AFRICAN HISTORY LECTURE FOR HAND OF CHUKWU and flat heads
Louisiana 1719-1820
French Period 1719-1770 Louisian imported nearly over 5000 slaves they were mainly Sengegambians.
Spanish Period
1770-1803
Slaves from different African regions started coming into Louisiana.These were mainly from Angola-Congo slaves and Bight of Benin/Fon-Gbe and few Bight of Biafra slaves and Mozambiquens
American Period
1803-1820s
Slavers started importing more Angola-Congo slaves than any other African region, DR KEVIN ROBERTS calls this "ERA CONGOLIZATION OF LOUISIANA AND WIPING OFF SENEGAMBIAN LEGACY TOTALLY".

FACT. There were few Yorubas imported into US. Yes there is a Yoruba influence in Jamaica,Haiti,Cuba and Brazil.

Note:Bigger groups like BANTUS in BRAZIL,HAITI,CUBA "ADOPTED YORUBA CULTURES". Note: the Angola Congo were majority in BRAZIL, HAITI,CUBA and have a good presence in JAMAICA where they were 3rd largest African group after Bight of Biafra 29%, Gold Coast 26%, Angola-Congo 18%.

ITS DOCUMENTED THAT IGBO NFLUENCE AND BLOODLINE IN JAMAICA DECLINED DUE TO THE FACT THAT IGBOS WERE SUICIDAL EVERYWHERE THE NEW WORLD AND GIVEN THE FACT THAT MOST IGBO SLAVES WERE FEMALES AND INTERMARRIED OUTSIDE THE IGBO TRIBE. Igbo females mainly intermarried Akan,Senegambians,Bantus of Angola-Congo, Yorubas etc..in Jamica resulting in Igbo bloodline being WIPED OFF. By 1900s 40% of Afro Jamaicans had strong AKAN LINKS, while Igbos declined to 16%.

You seem to take this thread very personal. Anyway, do you realy expect the very same slave master who enslaved black africans, and in the process, destroyed their heritage and history to truthfuly inform you about their ancestry? are you that naive and gullible? It may be difficult for me to physically prove(just as most "historical facts" are) but i know that most AA's are related to igbos. The phenotypical similarities are overwelhming.Also be informed that igbos always had enclaves in many other african countries; even though their presence may not be traceable. Ndigbo didnt start globetroting in the 20th centry. Emigration is somewhat a cultural thing among the igbos lol. We are every where. Agu eji eje mba.For instance, the southwest region of nigeria that's currently yoruba land was initialy occupied by the igbos. So my point is that even if your "sources" state senegal, congo and angola as the port of departure for most AA's, it still doesnt indicate a non-igbo origin. Cheers.
