They could have and some did. Presumably they were skilled at living off 
the land in Africa and could have quietly slipped away and went west. 
Instead there were religious nuts like Nat Turner whose rebellion started 
by killing all the whites they could find. That's not a good tactic when 
you're outnumbered and the whites repaid the favor twofold or more.

I don't know if they would have been welcomed by the indigenous peoples. 
At least the Cherokee were much more stringent about miscegenation than 
the whites and may have considered them somewhat less than human. In fact 
what most of the tribes called themselves translated to The Real People 
rather than the names the whites or other tribes called them. Not too many 
tribes would choose to name themselves Sankes, Headbashers, Big Bellies, 
Flatheads, or Pierced Noses.

The tactic was more successful in Haiti, leading to the festering shithole 
that it still is.
