The trading of slaves to America in the 16th and 17th centuries brought African culture to the Americas.

Millions of Africans were brought to America by force to be made slaves out of- thus bringing them and their culture with them. Much of this culture was retained, words like 'goober' meaning peanut and 'gumbo' meaning Okra as well as music that eventually would evolve into present fay Jazz.
