2. How did the survivors of the Middle Passage "ma[ke) the new land their own"?

Hello, this question is about the article "Africans Migration to Colonial America"

Answer:

They began to dominate the land by learning the languages present in North America, getting to know the region and making connections with local residents.

Explanation:

Those who were privileged to survive Middle Passage created the new land because they were able to establish themselves efficiently in North America.

First, they learned the languages spoken in the region, so it would be possible to make connections with local residents. These connections were established through friendships and even joining lineages through marriages, agreements and other things, which allowed the survivors to establish themselves and create a promising environment for themselves and their descendants.
