The estimated number of African slaves taken out of Africa is around 12 million people, but because around 1.5 million of them died during the journeys to the New World, around 10.5 million actually managed to set foot in the Americas.
The African slaves were taken from multiple regions of the Continent, but mostly they were from the places around the coast lines of Western and Central Africa. Contrary on the popular belief that the Europeans went to Africa and captured the native people, it was actually that the stronger local tribes were capturing people from the smaller weaker tribes and they were selling them to the Europeans to make a profit. The Europeans saw a great chance in this because they needed a lot of labor force for their plantations and used it to the maximum.

Manifest Destiny was a philosophy that considered the United States was divinely ordained, justifiable and inevitable to expand its borders.
This philosophy encouraged the convergence of social, economic, and political factors helped urge the speed of westward expansion in the 19th century. With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 people were driven to the west, white settlers and proponents of expansion began to voice concerns over what they considered an obstacle to settlement - The American Indian tribes that lived there -. White settlers considered the lands east of the Mississippi River a great place to raise cattle, wheat, and cotton.
The convergence of Manifest Destiny and the need to expand was used to rationalize the removal of American Indians from their native homelands. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was signed into law and authorized the president to reserve land west of the Mississippi River and exchange it for Native American land to the east of the Mississippi.
