West African folktales became part of the culture in the Americas through the transatlantic slave trade, which led to the forced migration of Africans to the Americas. Enslaved Africans brought their traditions, including folktales, with them and passed them down through generations. These tales often blended with local folk traditions, resulting in a rich tapestry of storytelling in the Americas that continues to influence culture today.

With Polio
The West African oral tradition can be different from written tradition because they never had a written language. Also they had storytellers that told West African traditions.It also may be different in similarity to the original. In oral traditions the stories are often altered by the person relaying the information, and traditions change slightly that way.

The Middle Passage
Anansi is a spider appearing in African folktales as a cunning trickster and the King of all Stories. These stories started in Ghana (a country in western Africa) and have spread all over the world, the oral traditions traveling with slaves as they were sold to the West Indies and the Americas. I hope that's helpful! I'm doing a paper about Anansi, too.
