Answer:

B.) Most Africans came to the Americas against their will.

Step-by-step explanation:

African Americans were brought over to the Americas to be used as slaves. They were kidnapped from their homeland and shipped across the ocean in the hull of a ship. They were packed there for months, barely being able to sit down. Because of the closed quarters, many got diseases and died before arriving at the Americas.

Europeans, however, had a choice on whether they wanted to move and traveled for many reasons such as jobs, land, and religious freedoms.
