Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Slave religion incorporated African and Christian elements, such as belief in ancestral spirits and the power of music and dance, alongside Christian teachings. This syncretic religious practice allowed slaves to maintain their cultural heritage while also finding comfort and hope in Christian teachings. It did not necessarily cause slaves to accept their condition or require reading of the Bible. While white masters did try to control and restrict slave religion, they were not entirely successful in stamping it out. Racially integrated church services were not common during slavery.
