Slaves in the South were very religious people. They identified with stories in the Bible about suffering. They had they own songs, called spirituals, that expressed their feelings of distress. Slaves looked to God to provide them with a better life. Unfortunately, slaves did not have their own churches, but were forced to attend white-led plantation churches.
