When and how did Santería arrive in Miami, New York, Puerto Rico, Madrid, Caracas and Mexico City?
Reil [10]

Answer:

<em>Santeria </em>was practiced by the old black slaves and their descendants on the island of Cuba, which later expanded through the other colonies to neighboring countries such as Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Panama.

But later, in <u>1959</u><u> </u><u>with the Cuban revolution</u>, it would cause many Santists to emigrate to Florida, Spain, and Mexico, among others.

Explanation:

<em>Santeria</em> is an African polytheistic religion related to Catholicism, like many other religions given since the time of slavery.

This occurred because Africans were forced to become Catholics by their owners.

Africans would see Catholic saints quite similar to their deities in their hometown.

Santeria believes in a universal and omnipotent being from whom everything created comes, called Olodumare.

In addition to Olodumare, the Santists believe in other different Gods, each owner of an intangible part of society, and each one is worshiped in different ways.

oksian1 [2.3K]
1) they all spoke in a different language & a majority Have perished so you can’t tell a story if you can’t read or understand it because of the language . 2)the confederacy was basically a pact made by the Iroquois Indians of every tribe stating that regardless of they like each other or not (which in most cases each tribe had an issue with one another) they vowed to all put their differences aside to fight their enemy if attacked. Basically come together to fight their enemy . Teamwork . It was pretty much an alliance they made in order to ensure their safety because they knew they were stronger together .
