American History — Colonial Period and Independence · Question 67 of 128
What group of people was taken to America and sold as slaves?
Practice answer: People from Africa
Why this is the answer
Millions of people from Africa were forcibly taken to America and enslaved. This was a brutal system, not voluntary migration.
On the 2026 citizenship test, a USCIS officer asks up to 20 questions from the official 128-question pool — answering 12 correctly passes.
