there are too many bogus claims in this.. first of all- our treatment of epidemics was well established and our vaccine for small pox was the defining issue-not so slave myth. There was no slave bible- as they couldnt read- its another myth! And the religion- sorry but Gospel came not from slaves but the UK and the methodist movement et al… same with the blues- a mix of UK folk and gospel- there’s zero relation to african music- the closest relation is the banjo which is a 5 stringed instrument based on the 4 string banjar- but music its self is unrelated.
