One thought:

People invented it because these men were all slaves and one day whilst they were doing the jobs, they all started too make rhythms and they got more and more famous...

Additional Thoughts:

Creativity has always been a way to express emotion. From joy to sadness, freedom to oppression, all aspects of the human experience can be revealed and communicated to others through art. And art is a form of communication.

Music is one form of artistic expression that reveals deeply held feelings in a beautiful heart moving way.

The 'Blues' certainly are an important part of this art form, describing the deep pain often felt in a human life and transforming it into something that all humans can feel and understand. As mentioned in the previous answer, slaves in early America, used this form of art to help them survive. Music was part of their culture. It gave them hope, helped them work together on something positive, built their faith and communicated their pain. It was created because such tribulation needs to find a voice...people need to be heard, and because music soothes the heart.
