As for Africans they mostly all came from Liberia. Almost all of them had no choice, they'd mostly all came from American slave traders there. They'd be bought by some white man usually to work in the plantain or cotton fields.

There really weren't that many pull factors to come to Texas, they'd all been forced to go there for slavery and farming. They'd most come along the coast where there's plenty of water for farming.
