They blended their languages, cultures, and religions to create something new.
Enslaved Africans created a new culture by blending elements of their diverse African backgrounds with the cultures of the Americas. This resulted in the development of new languages, music, dance, spiritual beliefs, and social customs that were unique to African diaspora communities. Through resistance, adaptation, and creativity, enslaved Africans forged a distinct cultural identity that continues to influence the Americas today.

Yes, enslaved Africans in the Americas used their cultural knowledge to create instruments such as drums and banjos, helping to preserve some of their musical traditions. Despite the harsh conditions of slavery, these musical expressions played a crucial role in maintaining their cultural identity and providing a means of resistance and community building.
Enslaved Africans created creole languages as a means of communication among themselves and with other ethnic groups, overcoming language barriers imposed by slavery. Creole languages were a fusion of African languages, European languages, and indigenous languages, reflecting the diverse linguistic backgrounds of the enslaved population. Eventually, creole languages became symbolic of resistance and cultural identity among enslaved communities.
The economy of European settlements in the Americas depended heavily on the importation of enslaved people from Africa. Without their free labor, the Americas would quite likely have not prospered as it did. As Edouard Glissant writes, one can consider the African slave arriving in the Americas as a "naked migrant" - someone who came with nothing and had to create his life anew. European immigrants, even those who were fleeing prosecution or poverty, came because they wanted to. Even if they felt they had very little choice in the matter, there was a hope for a new life and a connection to the old through communities that shared the same language and cultural traditions. The enslaved people who were brought from Africa came under very different and more difficult conditions. We have them to thank, however, for their resistance and resilience. Much of American culture, from the banjo to jazz, from agricultural innovations to culinary traditions, has its roots in the contributions of Africans who came unwillingly to the Americas.
