What was the name of a wholly original American music? Where did it get its music forms from?

This may not be accurate but I think the blues, The name of this great American music probably originated with the 17th-century English expression “the blue devils,” for the intense visual hallucinations that can accompany severe alcohol withdrawal. Shortened over time to “the blues,” it came to mean a state of agitation or depression.Jan 4, 2013
