I’m not an expert here but will post this from Wikipedia "So while the depth of the African-American work song traditions is now recognized,[42] in the early 19th century they stood in stark contrast to the paucity of such traditions among Euro-Americans"
"Thus while European sailors had learned to put short chants to use for certain kinds of labor, the paradigm of a comprehensive system of developed work songs for most tasks may have been contributed by the direct involvement of or through the imitation of African-Americans"
