Why are there African people in the Caribbean?
When the Europeans colonized the islands in the Caribbean sea, they brought African slaves with them to do many of the physical labor, as was common in many other places across North, central, and south America and many other colonies settled by Europeans. Slaves were freed after many decades, and some slaves had been in the Carribean for several generations. As such, they felt more connected to their Caarribean culture than a distance and little known African culture, so when slavery was abolished and they were granted their freedom, most stayed in their current homes.
