Best Answer

Some historians claim that black-faced minstrel shows have roots going back to the Middle Ages. The American minstrel show that was popular before and after the American Civil War, however, is more directly traced to a performer named Thomas D. Rice. "Daddy" Rice began performing in black face and singing and dancing the "Jim Crow" in the 1830s.

In what country did tap dancing start?

Tap dancing is actually an American form of dance. It is a blend of Irish step and African gumboot dancing. When both African Americans and the Irish were oppressed they somehow came together and tap was formed; a blend of steps from the Irish and rhythm and style from the African Americans. African Americans were not allowed to perform at first so minstrel shows were done by white people and they would black out their faces to make fun of the black dancers.
