i edited the number from 130-400 000 because there was no source indicated to 21 000 which is from the same source as americans of igbo, yoruba... descent. The previous figure was totally hazardous putting americans of fula descent at 13-40 million which is a mad estimate considering there are less than 40 million fulanis on the continent |

Fula Americans, Fulani Americans or Fulbe Americans are Americans of Fula (Fulani) (Fulbe) descent.
The first Fulani people who were forcibly expatriated to United States from the slave trade came from several parts of West and Central Africa. Many Fulbe came of places as Guinea, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Cameroon. Recent Fulani arrivals immigrated to the United States during the 1990s and now make up a significant portion of the Muslim communities across America. [1]
