What factors led to the transformation? How does migration from Africa challenge the idea that African-Americans are a single distinct ethnic group?

Slaves, despite the different parts of Africa, were treated as an inferior people who come from the same race because of their skin color. Ethnic group identity didn't matter as the White owners saw their slaves as from the same kind of people.

Explain the factors to how males outnumber women and what changes are needed to to solve this issue.
