The historian Ira Berlin has noted the emergence in the 16th and 17th centuries of Atlantic Creoles, people of color descended from the multinational peoples in African ports where Portuguese and Spanish traders, African women and Arab traders congregated.
Most of the earliest black immigrants to the Americas were "Atlantic Creoles," as the charter generation is described by the American historian Ira Berlin.
