tthiss was during slavery

anonymous · Answer

Slaves gathered around and they would praise and enjoy each other,but at the end of it all there hearts were filled with sorrow. They were tortured because they weren't free and no matter how much they would pray it seemed as though nothing would get better, the only thing that affected them was the love ones that were torn away from them.
