Baddest Afro Descent Women: Day 33 - Gambians!!!

[IllmaticDelta]

The early part as in what date? Because only Portugal had claims to the Angolan region with a sprinkle of Dutch. When did the Portuguese do trading in the United States? That's news to me.

Your tribe is associated with West Africa, not Southern Africa.

I thought Bantus/southern Africans slaves were never brought to the states?

and

Slavery in the 17th century
From the 17th century to the early 19th century, many Angolans were brought as slaves to the United States. Angolan slaves may have been the first Africans to arrive in the Thirteen Colonies, according to Sheila Walker, an American film maker and researcher in cultural anthropology. This refers to an event in 1617 in Jamestown, Virginia, when Angolans were diverted by a Spanish ship to an English ship bound for Mexico.[4] These first Angolan slaves of Virginia (15 men and 17 women[4]) were Mbundu[5] and Bakongo, who spoke Kimbundu and Kikongo languages respectively. Many of these early slaves were literate.[6] [note 1]

Later, slaves were stolen by English and Dutch pirates from the Portuguese when the pirates left with the slaves from the Angolan port of Luanda.[5] Many of these slaves were imported by the Dutch to New York City, which, at this time, was called New Amsterdam and was under Dutch control. Thus, the Angolans also were the first slaves in New York City.[6] According to Harvard university professor Jill Lepore, the slaves of Angola who arrived in New Amsterdam were also Ambundu and, to a lesser extent, Kongos, as was the case with the first slaves who arrived in Virginia.[7] In 1621, Angolan former slave Anthony Johnson arrived in Virginia and was the first documented black slave in the English colonies to earn his freedom and, in turn, own slaves himself. Anthony Johnson was granted ownership of John Casor after a civil case in 1654.[8][9] The Angolan slavery trade in the United States reached its greatest magnitude between 1619 and 1650.[5] In 1644, 6,900 slaves on the African coast were purchased to clear the forests, lay roads, build houses and public buildings, and grow food. Most of these were from the company's colonies in the West Indies, but came from its established stations in Angola.[3]

18th–19th centuries
During the colonial period, people from the region Congo-Angola made up 25% of the slaves in North America. Based on the data mentioned, many Angolan slaves came from distinct ethnic groups, such as the Bakongo and the Tio[10] and Northern Mbunbu people (from Kingdom of Ndongo).[5] However, not all slaves kept the culture of their ancestors. The Bakongo were Catholics, from the kingdom of Kongo who had voluntarily converted to Catholicism in 1491 after the Portuguese conquered this territory.[11] The slaves of Angola made up the majority of the slaves in South Carolina[12] and were one of the main slave groups in other places. In Virginia, most slaves came from within the boundaries of the modern nation-states of Nigeria and Angola. Between 1710 and 1769, only 17% of the slaves who arrived in Virginia were from Angola.[13] Others places in the United States, such as Delaware and Indiana, also had Angolan slaves.[6]

Many of the Bakongo slaves who arrived in the United States in the 18th century were captured and sold as slaves by African kings to other tribes or enemies during several civil wars. Some of the people sold from Kongo to the United States were trained soldiers.[11] In 1739, there was an uprising in South Carolina, where possibly 40% of the slaves were Angolan. Led by an Angolan named Jemmy, a group of 20 Angolan slaves, probably Bakongos and described as Catholic, mutinied and killed at least 20 white settlers and several children. They then marched to Charlestown, where the uprising was harshly repressed. Forty of the slaves in the revolt (some Angolan) were decapitated and their heads strung on sticks to serve as a warning to others. This episode, known as the Stono Rebellion, precipitated legislation banning the importation of slaves. The ban was aimed at solving two serious problems: the inhumanity toward the black slaves and the fact the country had more blacks than whites.[6] Later, some 300 former Angolan slaves founded their own community in the Braden River delta, near what is now downtown Bradenton, Florida. They gave it the name of Angola, in honor of the homeland of many of them, and tried to live as free men. However, this Angola was destroyed in 1821. Rich hunters and slaveholders hired 200 mercenaries and captured 300 black people and burned their houses. It is believed, however, that some Angolans fled in rafts and successfully reached Andros Island in The Bahamas, where they were established life.[6]

Nope, not enough to constitute as the majority, pay attention to words here. No one said zero went, I said what the majority of you lot are not.

almost 25% of the slave stock in the USa was angolan in origin

Not unreasonable since we haven't gotten to all of the heavyweights

who are the heavyweights??

Yesterdays Courageous Fight


Liberian women-8.882

Day 32 was a fierce battle where Liberian women stormed the united top 5 realms...

Slaughtering anyone who got in their way. Booting out Nigerians from the top 5 and soon over taking Afro-Cuban women. On day 32 Liberian women proved that they deserve to be in the top 5 when it comes to West African women.

However... While now queen of the all the realms(general leaderboard), they managed to take the African throne, taking out Ethiopian women to become the NEW queen of the African realm!

All hail the Liberian queens.


And now onto day 33....

RULES:

1. This Tourney will go on for 60 days instead of 55. So 60 ethnicity/nationalities total in this tourney.
2. This second rule is important! Since this tourney is about finding the GOAT looking black women, you are only voting based on LOOKS and LOOKS alone. So no voting based on disagreements of cultural norms, collective personalities, bad experiences or if the group of women seem . Bias or troll votes will NOT be counted. Repeat will NOT be counted but instead disqualified. This is to get the most accurate ranking as possible. And since 1s(scust) is an "extreme" vote, please give a reason why you rated them a scust. Again this is to get the most accurate ranking as possible which is why I created this series for.
3. Like the "Rate this Girl" tourney you will be rating from a 1-10 scale. 10(), and 1().
4. Votes will all be public.
5. There really is no need to nominate as I already have a list of the most notorious African descent groups. But if you feel one hasn't gone yet then slip me a PM.
6. There are some days where I wont be able to make the threads. If you want to volunteer to take over then PM me.
7. Days will last 24 hours.
8. Since some African descent groups like Latin Americans, North Africans or Horners sometime don't fit some people's bill as "black", we will instead be using "African descent", but for groups like Latin Americans and North Africans we will be using the ones with significant African admixture.
9. I will be trying to use my Appreciation Threads as examples for pictures. But if you have pictures/other threads then PLEASE POST them so I can add them in the OP.
10. This is a second very important rule. I want this to be a smooth tourney and so NO TRIBAL WARS! Otherwise I'm snitching or closing this tourney completely.

West Africa aka Westside is the best side is back for round 2... Some of you may not know this country, but as of recently Gambia has had some problems especially when it came to their president elections. Luckily the former president was finally ousted. Gambia is a small country in West Africa that is basically an enclave of Senegal. It is the smallest country in mainland Africa. The two biggest groups there are the Mandinka, Fula and Wolof. But what about their women? While I have not had any personal experiences with Gambian women, from what I have seen online their women like most Sahelian women are slim and tall and what I like to call a "royal" look to them. But anyways lets see how far they rank.

Sorry for the late reply. Had to pick up this nasty ass Chinese food.

These results were confirmed in the estimation of IA by using the program frappe (also in Figure 1). The amount of European ancestry shows considerable variation, with an average (± SD) of 21.9% ± 12.2%, and a range of 0 to 72% (Table 1). The largest African ancestral contribution comes from the Yoruba, with an average of 47.1% ± 8.7% (range, 18% to 64%), followed by the Bantu at 14.8% ± 5.0% (range, 3% to 28%) and Mandenka at 13.8% ± 4.5% (range, 3% to 29%). The contributions from the other three African groups were quite modest, with an average of 1.7% from the Biaka, 0.5% from the Mbuti, and 0.3% from the San. In the bar plot of frappe estimates, individuals (vertical bars) are arranged in order (left to right) corresponding to their value on the first PC coordinate. Clearly, this order correlates nearly perfectly with a decreasing proportion of European ancestry (Figure S1 in Additional file 1). Thus, the most important source of genetic structure in African Americans is based on the degree of European admixture.

Characterizing the admixed African ancestry of African Americans


And the early date would be the 1600s when the 13 colonies begins to get into the slave trade. And I don't think Portugal was controllin the Angolan area. I believe the Kongo Kingdom was still independent.
