Scientists have established the main places that were the source of slaves for the United States

Most of the slaves who were brought to the United States lived in the territory where Nigeria is currently located, The New York Times reports, citing a study by American scientists who studied DNA samples of about 50 thousand people. Also, according to scientific work, modern black residents of the United States are descendants of blacks who came from the territories of Senegal, the Gambia and Benin.
