jazz wasn't introduced to America. jazz IS America!
The logical idea is to try to link jazz back to African music somehow. But, for many reasons, this turns out not to be so straightforward. Perhaps the most potent denial of this direct African connection is the fact that in 1808 the US federal gov't declared the slave trade to be illegal. So after 1808, very few new slaves were arriving in America directly from Africa. To put this date into perspective: the first known appearance of the word "jazz" in print didn't arrive until 1913. That's leaves a period of ~100 years for American slaves to evolve away from authentic African music forms!
However, there are clearly some ties that can be made back to West African music from jazz. But this is the sort of stuff that music historians argue about. You've asked a very simple question and it deserves a simple answer...
If you had a gun to my head, I would say that "jazz" was first cultivated as an independent musical form in the first decade of the 20th century.
But keep in mind that the actual origin of jazz is anything but simple.
