African culture was shared by the African slaves
Nigeria is a country in Africa and therefore part of both the African and African-American cultures (since it is likely that some African-Americans draw heritage from Nigeria, and many Africans actually live there.)
The fall of Tenochtitlan was one of several turnings points for the Spaniards being able to maintain forces in Central America. Because the Spaniards were able to conquer Tenochtitlan (and later, other South American cities/countries), an entire culture slowly started to fade. The Spanish language and Spanish customs soon quickly became the prevailing language/culture in Central America. Not only that, but Christianity was introduced to the Natives. Today, while many Indian Languages do exist, as the youth try to assimilate into the Spanish culture, they are slowly leaving that life behind them. In a few more generations, it is highly likely that many of these languages will be extinct and near-forgotten.
If conscription was introduced you would probably not get to choose what you would do. Selection would likely take place like it is now, based on testing to see where a person would likely excel.
They more than likely did have African gladiators as the gladiators were recruited from all over the empire.
Most likely one of the early Colonists, after pumpkin was introduced to them by the Indians.

There is not really an "African American Christmas," per se. It's likely that one is referring to the holiday Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa is celebrated around Christmas-time, and celebrates African culture and heritage.
The carrot (Daucus carota) is a root vegetable native to Europe and southwestern Asia. European settlers introduced the carrot to Colonial America in the 17th century.
If 80 percent of people in a culture speak Spanish, then that language is likely part of the dominant or prevalent culture within that community. It could also be a key aspect of the shared cultural identity of the population.
If 80% of people in a culture speak Spanish, then that language is likely part of the dominant or official language in that culture.
Jackie Robinson was the first African-American to play major league baseball in America.
The likely word is "introduced."
African culture (just as well as any culture) and the country along with other countries is essential to study because you learn so much about not only its history, but your history. It does not matter what race you are, your ancestors most likely "played a part", so to say, in this particular area of history. It's just like the African slave trade and Middle Passage. Not only are they interesting topics to know, but teach you some part (most likely) of your history. Any history, good or bad, is wonderful to know.
A ollectivist culture is especially likely to emphasize the importance of social harmony.
Not likely. True possums live in Australia (and have been introduced to New Zealand) while skunks live in North America. A possum is not the same as an opossum.
