Most of the people the Europeans brought over to the New World as slaves were West Africans from the central an western part of Africa. This was known as the Atlantic slave trade.
Because other Africans sold them to the Europeans as slaves and the new world colonies needed workers.
Slaves were brought to the New World when the Triangle Trade came around. Africa sent slaves to America and England in return for the imports that Africa got from them.
Slaves were brought to the new world to do the brutal back-breaking farm labor. Many were also made into domestic servants.
Of all the Africans brought to the New World, sixty percent were brought to Spanish colonies.

slaves were brought to the new world in the first place because the Europeans had found these lands and wanted to plant sugar canes,tobacco,and later on cotton and rice and needed people to work on the plantations so they went to Africa and brought the Africans to work on the plantations as slaves.

Africans were brought here through the triangular slave trade between European countries, Africa, and the New World. There was no other race in the Americans other than the Native American Indians before the European cultures came over, bringing the slaves from Africa with them. So, in short, no, Africans weren't a part of the United States territories before they were brought over through slavery.
The shipment of Africans from Africa, across the Atlantic Ocean, and to the New World, is called the Middle Passage, which was the voyage across the ocean that the Africans were forced to endure. There wasn't really a specific explorer that brought them to the Americas, but since diseases from the Europeans had wiped out so many of the Native Americans, they had to find new slaves. The Africans seemed to have developed a certain immunity to the diseases, so, of course, they were the ones that were sent to America.
