I wouldn't agree that they are totally uniquely American, a vast amount of jazz has Spanish influence. That being said I believe African Americans had a huge influence on both of these genres. Starting with hymns and work songs African Americans led directly into the blues and with artists like Blind Willie Johnson. Then the simple rhythms and songs began to add horns and other instruments such as with Louie Armstrong which was a start to jazz. Blues and jazz is closely linked and so America became known for its unique new styles, there was also an great culture about jazz that makes it American with all the mixes of people and things such as African American clubs and the suggestive flappers who brought a new lifestyle that was a little more 'wild' than most cultures of the time. As for rock, it is also related closely to blues and before Elvis there was more intense blues, one of the first true Rock'n'roll artists was Chuck Berry who brought a completely new style of guitar playing that hallmarks rock today. Then as rock developed it also gained its own American culture of 'sex, drugs, and rock and roll' and seemed to echo the ideas of freedom in the youth culture starting to break out.
