I tend to link blues and country in my mind as they both arose in the same area of the country at the same time. Yes, blues started off as something that was based on African music but modern blues also incorpoates some European influences. I say let's just agree that because it is a blending of various forms into something new that it is an American creation. I think this is a great example of what other commenters have said that American culture is all about. @Sybil Law, No worries.

The blues is more related to African American slavery. Which of course was brought over from Europe, but not eh more common blues that we know.... I'm going to shut up before my own music nerdery comes out. :) @Kailyn, I had to jump in! The blues is more related to African American slavery.

And country has its roots in folk music of Europe. I have got to stop watching the History Channel. @Faiqa, I would say that blues is probably more closely related to country.
