Detailed explanation-1: -A strong African influence pervades music, dance, the arts, literature, speech forms, and religious practices in Latin America and the Caribbean. Africans, whether as slaves or free immigrants, brought a variety of different cultural influences to the New World.
Detailed explanation-2: -Enslaved Africans left their cultural stamp on other aspects of American culture. Southern American speech patterns, for instance, are heavily influenced by the language patterns invented by enslaved Africans. Southern cuisine and “soul food” are nearly synonymous.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is one effect of slavery that influences Latin America today? Many people there have ancestors from Africa. What is the most common religion in Latin America and why? Roman Catholic because of the influence of Spain and Portugal.
Detailed explanation-4: -As planters became more reliant on enslaved workers, the populations of the Caribbean colonies changed, so that people born in Africa, or their descendants, came to form the majority. Their harsh and inhumane treatment was justified by the idea that they were part of an inferior ‘race’.
