A great example of this in the US context is the Stono Rebellion in South Carolina. There's some evidence (like widespread reports of drumming) that there were significant West African influences on the revolt (and specifically Catholic Congolese influences). The historian John Thornton (and others) have done great work on this.

The best book about West African spirituality and how it aligned/conflicted with Catholicism is James H. Sweet's incredible book Domingos Álvares, African Healing, and the Intellectual History of the Atlantic World. It's as close to a page-turner among academic history books as you'll ever find.
