Answer
- B People from Africa
Explanation
Millions of people were taken from Africa and sold as slaves in the colonies and later the United States; the first enslaved Africans reached Virginia in 1619. Many Europeans, by contrast, came as settlers or as indentured servants for a limited time. Slavery ended only in 1865 with the 13th Amendment.
