Final answer:

Many slaves in the New World adopted elements of Christianity while still holding onto traditional African beliefs.


Explanation:

As time went on, many slaves adopted elements of Christianity while maintaining aspects of traditional African beliefs. The trans-Atlantic slave trade led to the spread of African religious practices through the African diaspora, resulting in the retention of memories of religious practices from Africa while merging them with Christianity in the Americas. Moreover, enslaved individuals in the French colony combined West African Spirit Worship with Christianity to practice both simultaneously.
