Today, African American culture is an important part of American culture, but at the same time it is still a unique cultural organization. Beginning in the early stages of American slavery in the 17th century, slaveholders tried to rule slaves by depriving them of African culture.

In many ways, American slave culture is a culture that survives and resists American slavery. Without a successful slave revolution like Haiti (black slaves try to proclaim freedom by violence), American slaves practice other forms of resistance. Escape, suicide, delay in work, deliberate destruction of planting equipment and crops, and slavery's poison are the most common symptoms of slave resistance in Africa. In all these cases, slave culture created considerable resistance to the afforestation economy, creating a relatively coherent slave identity that shapes the southern colonial life and the relationship between slavery and white people.
