Sarah, there were no countries in Sub-Saharan Africa when the Blacks were sold into slavery. The more appropriate word in this case would be a tribe and not a country, and that is a thing that would be almost impossible to trace back, unless Erica compares her physical features with such of typical member of existing tribes.

They have a way of determining what tribe blacks in America came from (in Africa)... DNA. I don't think I should have to pay close to $400 to find out though. I want to be able to trace my ancestors back from slaves who were 'taken' to America, to the tribe they came from. Its not fair for the records to have been burned and erased like they were.

There is no question, Erica, the Blacks should not have been taken to America. It was a shame and disaster for both sides.
