How did America change for African slaves after the revolutionary war ending in 1783?
G.K: I doubt that America changed very much for African slaves with the peace of Versailles, and the end of the British Atlantic Empire. And yet, although the loose confederation of eastern seaboard states had its own problems, expansion to the West began almost immediately after 1783. But the incisive change for many African Americans and newly imported Africans—some of them were brought over clandestinely—was the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. The $15 million Napoleon Bonaparte God for selling his French-speaking bridge-head in America were also, in a sense, a large ransom for economic development. The emerging cotton plantation economy then caused large-scale second and third-generation resettlement of African slaves from the eastern seaboard states and elsewhere. In that way, the Louisiana Purchase was an unintended stimulant for cultural developments, leading to the rise of novel African American forms of music later in the 19th century: Jazz New Orleans and blues in the Mississippi
