Answer:
Explanation:
African-American culture, also known as Black American culture, refers to the contributions of African Americans to the culture of the United States, either as part of or distinct from mainstream American culture. The distinct identity of African-American culture is rooted in the historical experience of the African-American people, including the Middle Passage. The culture is both distinct and enormously influential on American and global worldwide culture as a whole.
African-American culture is rooted in the blend between the cultures of West and Central Africa and the Anglo-Celtic culture that has influenced and modified its development in the American South. Understanding its identity within the culture of the United States, it is, in the anthropological sense, conscious of its origins as largely a blend of West and Central African cultures. Although slavery greatly restricted the ability of African Americans to practice their original cultural traditions, many practices, values and beliefs survived, and over time have modified and/or blended with European cultures and other cultures such as that of Native Americans. African-American identity was established during the slavery period, producing a dynamic culture that has had and continues to have a profound impact on American culture as a whole, as well as that of the broader world.[1]
Elaborate rituals and ceremonies were a significant part of African-Americans' ancestral culture. Many West African societies traditionally believed that spirits dwelled in their surrounding nature. From this disposition, they treated their environment with mindful care. They also generally believed that a spiritual life source existed after death and that ancestors in this spiritual realm could then mediate between the supreme creator and the living. Honor and prayer were displayed to these "ancient ones", the spirit of that past. West Africans also believed in spiritual possession.[2]
At the beginning of the 18th century, Christianity began to spread across North Africa; this shift in religion began displacing traditional African spiritual practices. The enslaved Africans brought this complex religious dynamic within their culture to America. This fusion of traditional African beliefs with Christianity provided a commonplace for those practicing religion in Africa and America.

This is what I THINK are the answers. I recognize this question from Connexus so I will assume you attend school there. Before using these answers, go back into the lesson material (links/books) and hit Ctrl + G to open up a text search bar, then type in "research" and it will highlight wherever said word appears. If it says 0/0, go to the next page and backspace a letter to reset it. As a tip for the future, never EVER say you got your answers outside of the school, as that is usually a violation of the school's Honor Code, and will get you a zero on that assignment.
Answer:
The primary methods that the U.S. government, as well as individual reformers, used to deal with the perceived Indian threat to westward settlement were:
-The Indian removal act 1830.
- The treaties were signed for the indians to be asigned to reservations, and to be relocated. The treaties were not respected, the white americans would traspass their sacred lands.
- They would impose american cultural rituals and believes.
Explanation:
The Americans rejected the native americans and wanted to remove all of their cultural beliefs and rituals. They fear westward expantion so they took all the possible methods to avoid this, from trying to take them out of their lands, to forcing them to change their identity.
