I know that the ancestors of the African Americans were transported to America from Africa as slaves.
Colonist bring there culture and immgrants are different because they

Thank you. You are definitely on the right track. :-)
The ancestors of most African-Americans were brought here as slaves. They did not choose to come but were forced to immigrate to work for white Americans.
Colonists were people from Europe who colonized the New World. Because what is now the eastern U.S. were colonies governed by Great Britain, the people who lived there were colonists. They chose to come here for freedom, land, and economic opportunity. And yes, they wanted to expand their home cultures.
Immigrants are people who go to live in another country for many reasons.
Because African-Americans did not seek to colonize the Americas, they would be classified as immigrants -- albeit, unwilling immigrants.
