Coming to America Chapter 3

Chapter 3 of the book Coming to America explains about African slaves coming into the "New World" I found this chapter to be very intresting because we don't really get real actual facts about the African slaves coming into America. Until my senior year of high school I started learning more about how americans and europeans kidnapped people from Africa to bring them here as slaves. Although we read this in history books or in movies the author explains in chapter 3 that we wont ever know the reality of an African slave because we will never be in their position. I agree with what he stated because all these facts that we are given arent coming from the real source. I find that trading of slaves was a very important factor in building America because it brought alot of money and labor. Of course now things are completely different from how they use to be, it's always interesting to find out how things started and how they turn out.
