Why did many African immigrants come to the United States in the 1600s and 1700s?

During the 1600s and 1700s, European traders forcibly transported many Africans across the Atlantic and sold them into slavery in the Americas. They did not come by choice to seek religious freedom or land; they were brought as enslaved people. The correct choice is “They were forced to come as enslaved people.”
