Through the slaves brought to the Caribbean from West Africa. In Jamaica, for instance, the Ashanti's, a Kingdom in the Akan Empire brought the stories to Jamaica. The majority of Jamaican's are Ashanti. The stories also reached the Americas by the slaves brought there. They soon evolved into the Brer Rabbit stories.
The stories were taken across the Atlantic by the slaves that were transported from the coast of West Africa to the Caribbean and Americas. They were told on board the ships and on plantations amongst Ghanaian slaves in an effort to maintain the communities they formed with a lifestyle they were familiar with. The stories were said to 'survive' the middle passage of the slave ships, where slave owners tried as much as possible to erase all traces of African culture as much as possible.
