Slavery influenced African American culture by impacting language, music, cuisine, and traditions. Enslaved people had to create new forms of expression to communicate and survive, leading to the development of unique cultural practices that blended African and American influences. These cultural elements are still present in African American communities today.
The influence of African culture on some areas of Latin America was largely a result of the transatlantic slave trade, through which millions of Africans were forcibly brought to the region. Africans contributed significantly to the cultural fabric of Latin America through their traditions, music, dance, religion, and cuisine, which became integrated with local customs. This fusion of African and indigenous cultures created the rich cultural diversity that characterizes many countries in Latin America today.
African slavery replaced Native American slavery in the encomienda system primarily due to the devastating impact of diseases brought by Europeans on the native populations, making them less able to withstand forced labor. Additionally, African slaves were less likely to escape due to their unfamiliarity with the landscape and were seen as more profitable due to being perceived as being physically stronger.
Haitians are considered part of the African diaspora, as the majority of the population in Haiti is of African descent due to the history of slavery and colonialism. However, the term "African American" specifically refers to Americans of African descent, so Haitians would not fall under this specific classification.
Slavery in Latin America led to a diverse cultural landscape influenced by African, Indigenous, and European traditions. It contributed to the development of unique cultural practices, such as music, dance, cuisine, and religious ceremonies, that blend these different influences. Slavery also shaped social hierarchies and racial dynamics that continue to impact society today.
American settlers in Texas refused to change aspects of their culture such as their language, customs, laws, and way of life. They sought to maintain their identity and independence from Mexican influence.
The option that did not influence the rise of African American influence in America would be the end of slavery. The end of slavery actually played a significant role in empowering African Americans and enabling them to become more influential in American society.

slavery was horrible back then for millions and thousands of African American people.
1. The triangle trade brought Africans who are, need I have to say, already highly cultured ( Egyptian pyramids, gods, wealth. Shaka Zulu, Hannibal, cleopactra, exotic animals, beautiful land, ect. ) and brought them to America, gave them a higher level of literacy after slavery and combined thier culture with the Africans so you have African American's thus a mixed culture with the two races.
