I'm interested in the idea of how Protestant denominations can be considered to have saints. Maybe revered leaders who simply have another title?

The Protestant view is generally that all believers are saints. It's common, for example, for the Apostles and Paul to be referred to as "Saint" in Protestant theology. The practice of invoking the name of a saint to intercede before God is not common though, as the emphasis is put on praying to God himself.
Strains of West African religions did develop in America. Hoodoo was and is practiced in parts of the South and there's Louisiana Voodoo. Both of them are descended from West African Vodun.
