Each nation has a different and unique culture, this is true about Brazil and Africa. When buying slaves from Africa, Brazilians were introduced to African culture that the slaves brought with them.
However, the slaves in Brazil were told they had to follow the religion of their masters Davidson, In response to this many slaves would practice their culture in secret, so it was not to be forgotten. With a constant stream of new African slaves being brought to Brazil, the native culture of the African people was not an easy one to be lost.
Many of the traditions, myths, and dances were passed down generation to generation. The painting depicts an example of African slaves practicing their native culture by dancing a jongo at Campo de St. Anna in Rio de Janeiro. The dance was brought to Brazil by Bantus who were kidnapped and sold as slaves from the kingdoms of Kongo and Ndongo. The African culture left a lasting effect on Brazil.
The number of African people in Brazil far outnumbered the Brazilians. It is not surprising that African culture had influence on Brazil. An African religion reinvented in Brazil is ase Henry. The origins of ase are from the Yoruba people. Artistic expression are important aspects of ase; especially music and dance. In Brazil, Candomble is the reinvention of the ase religion.
Spiritual power and energy in both religions are given to the people who are devoted to the religion. Many of the concepts that are found in the ase religion are found in Candomble, if not the same, but similar. The music from these religions is said to have influenced the popular music in Brazil today Henry. This example of the reinventing of African religion to Brazil religion goes to show how slavery in Brazil impacted the culture.
Without slavery in Brazil much of the culture that is in Brazil today would not be there. The religion, music and dances would not have the African influence that they do. Above is a picture from an Olinda Carnival of an Afro-Brazilian performance called the maracatu de nacao or nacao for short referring to the performance and the performing groups. This performance is still practiced today in Brazil. The maracatu stems from the Kings of Congo ceremonies, who were slaves that held leadership roles in slave communities.
Abolishing slavery in Brazil meant that the Kings of Congo no longer existed, but the nacaos decided to keep the tradition alive. Belonging to another human being brought unique constrictions, disruptions, frustrations, and pain. Slavery not only inhibited family formation but made stable, secure family life difficult if not impossible. Enslaved people could not legally marry in any American colony or state.
Colonial and state laws considered them property and commodities, not legal persons who could enter into contracts, and marriage was, and is, very much a legal contract. This means that until when slavery ended in this country, the vast majority of African Americans could not legally marry.
In northern states such as New York, Pennsylvania, or Massachusetts, where slavery had ended by , free African Americans could marry, but in the slave states of the South, many enslaved people entered into relationships that they treated like marriage; they considered themselves husbands and wives even though they knew that their unions were not protected by state laws. A father might have one owner, his "wife" and children another. Some enslaved people lived in nuclear families with a mother, father, and children.
In these cases each family member belonged to the same owner. Others lived in near-nuclear families in which the father had a different owner than the mother and children. This use of unpaid labor to produce wealth lay at the heart of slavery in America. Enslaved people usually worked from early in the morning until late at night. Women often returned to work shortly after giving birth, sometimes running from the fields during the day to feed their infants.
On large plantations or farms, it was common for children to come under the care of one enslaved woman who was designated to feed and watch over them during the day while their parents worked. Slave quarters. Mulberry Plantation, South Carolina.
On large plantations, slave cabins and the yards of the slave quarters served as the center of interactions among enslaved family members. Here were spaces primarily occupied by African Americans, somewhat removed from the labor of slavery or the scrutiny of owners, overseers, and patrollers. Many former slaves described their mothers cooking meals in the fireplace and sewing or quilting late into the night.
Fathers fished and hunted, sometimes with their sons, to provide food to supplement the rations handed out by owners. Enslaved people held parties and prayer meetings in these cabins or far out in the woods beyond the hearing of whites.
In the space of the slave quarters, parents passed on lessons of loyalty; messages about how to treat people; and stories of family genealogy. It was in the quarters that children watched adults create potions for healing, or select plants to produce dye for clothing. It was here too, that adults whispered and cried about their impending sale by owners.
Family separation through sale was a constant threat. Enslaved people lived with the perpetual possibility of separation through the sale of one or more family members. A multitude of scenarios brought about sale. An enslaved person could be sold as part of an estate when his owner died, or because the owner needed to liquidate assets to pay off debts, or because the owner thought the enslaved person was a troublemaker.
A father might be sold away by his owner while the mother and children remained behind, or the mother and children might be sold. These decisions were, of course, beyond the control of the people whose lives they affected most.
Sometimes an enslaved man or woman pleaded with an owner to purchase his or her spouse to avoid separation. The intervention was not always successful. Historian Michael Tadman has estimated that approximately one third of enslaved children in the upper South states of Maryland and Virginia experienced family separation in one of three possible scenarios: sale away from parents; sale with mother away from father; or sale of mother or father away from child.
The fear of separation haunted adults who knew how likely it was to happen. President Michael Dimock explains why. The vast majority of U. Use this tool to compare the groups on some key topics and their demographics.
