Answer 2

Answer: The culture of the Americas was influenced by the language, food, and music of Africa.

The trans-Atlantic slave trade took the form of a triangle, so it is often called the "triangular trade." Goods from Europe travelled to Africa, where they were traded for slaves. These goods included items such as guns, ammunition and factory-made goods. The African slaves were then transported to the Americas. Slave labour in the colonies produced cotton, sugar, tobacco, molasses and rum which were carried to Europe.

African slaves who arrived in the colonies of America brought a rich cultural history with them. The songs, legends, stories, language, food, etc. of Africa were all influential to the cultures of America, and this impact can still be felt nowadays.
