West Indies

In the West Indies the French and Spanish ran plantation islands. African slaves were imported there. Because of the slaves's corrupted pagan practices, the French Creole did not import slaves from West Indies to New Orleans. However after the Louisiana Purchase, slaves began pouring into New Orleans, around the same time of the slave revolt in Santo Domingo.

The Haitian Voodoo is a source of the modern practices. Dr. John came from West Indie.
