SLAVERY IN MEXICO
African Diaspora In Mexico
I will talk about slavery in Mexico and how bad it was and how it was something big back then. Slavery in Mexico brought people to learn about dance and music. In Mexico, they did not have many slaves as other places They would produce sugar cane. These slaves were enslaved and the slaves weren't treated as bad. The slaves were freed but they weren't treated badly. Around the year 1537 slaves rebelled in Mexico.
AFRICAN DIASPORA CULTURE PAST AND PRESENT
In my history project I will talk about slavery in Mexico. I will also talk about African Diaspora culture past and present. Mexico had a connection with dance and as well as the African roots. Around the southwest coast of Mexico in their homes, during festivals, or on the street someone would most likely step forward and start singing. they would either sing romantic songs or tragedy songs, comedy songs. There audience would really enjoy enjoy this music. The Costa Chico people would have a huge desire on corridos which is a sense of human dignity and a desire for freedom rooted in the lives and history of the costa china people. Costa Chica people are many of whom are descendants of escaped slaves. These corridos reflectonoral traditions inherited from Africa. The words or lyrics in these corridos would mean a lot to them and they would symblyze a strong message or meaning.
RESISTANCE OF SLAVERY IN MEXICO
In my paragraph I will talk about resistance of slavery in Mexico and how it affected people in many different ways. There were many enslaved africans in Mexico.Around 1537 it was the rebellion plot. On the 24 of September the king/ leader was advised that the blacks had chosen a king. They had reached an agreement to kill all of the Spaniards. As well as to seize the land. The Indians were involved in this situation as well. Gaspar Yanga was one of the African slaves leader. He was a successful man. The african slaves would produce sugar cane.
