~ African Religion In America ~
Voodoo, Hoodoo, Santería and Macumba (as it is popularly called) all have their origins in both Africa and Catholic America. The African people, who were brought to the New World as slaves, carried their religion and magic with them. Those religious and magical practices, however, did become modified to suit the needs of the New World.Those slaves, who were brought to the Americas by Catholic colonists, learned to adapt their religion and customs to the faith of their masters in order to continue their traditions veiled though it was. Such was not the case in the Protestant English colonies. Whereas, the Catholic Church regarded the African slaves as human beings and insisted upon their conversion, the Protestant colonists did not think of their slaves as fully human and, therefore, took little interest in their conversion. They further feared any slave congregation, even religious, as being conducive to revolt.
The transplanted Africans often blended their African religious and magical heritage with the Catholicism of their masters and the result is the hybrid religions of Voodoo, Santería, etc. The Loas and Orishas had their counterparts in the saints of the Church. The mysticism of the Church and its concern for the deceased also was a linking factor between Latin Christianity and African religious tradition.
