When was voodoo brought to America?

Voodoo was brought to America in the 18th century, primarily through the transatlantic slave trade. Enslaved Africans from West and Central Africa, particularly those from present-day Benin, Togo, and Nigeria, brought their spiritual practices and beliefs to the New World. The religion became notably established in Louisiana, especially in New Orleans, where it blended with elements of Catholicism and other cultural influences.
