African-American Georgians are residents of the U.S. state of Georgia who are of African American ancestry. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, African Americans were 31.2% of the state's population.[3]
Spanish colonists brought African slaves in Georgia in 1526.[4] African slaves imported to Georgia primarily came from Angola, Sierra Leone, and the Gambia.[5] They were primarily enslaved by British Americans.[citation needed]
