Why there are many blacks in the Caribbean and the United States but relatively few in Mexico?

Question

There are some groups in the Coasts of the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico, but they are small groups.

Answer 1

Slavery was a custom in the US and the Carribean before the Civil War. Many Africans were brought in through the Caribbean Islands. African slaves weren't taken to Mexico.

Answer 2

I am just answering based on my general knowledge and reading. I would say the answer is directly related to the slave trade. The caribean was a major slave market in the 17 and 1800's because of the sugarcane business and the US was a major slave market because of the tobacco business as well as for other purposes because much of the populace could afford them. I would imagine neither of these products was prevalent in Mexico and the income level of the general populace was probably lower.
