The French brought a Carnival like thing and then the slaves created their own Carnival with the drums and costumes and all the other things that Carnival has. That is why there are so many french words in the celebration. Words like "j'ouvert", "Dimanche gras", "fete", "Mardi Gras", 'jab jab", "ministrel" and " Pierrot Grenade".
The Damme Lorraine specifically was just the slaves' way of mocking the french mistresses. Their asses were flat and they had little breasts...so they would put pads in their Bras and something to make it look as though they had bottom.
