to commit through slavery

The music plays a big role because it is really important for slaves and they use the music to be led to freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
They could use music to tell stories that can be passed down to new generations. They could use it for codes and as ways to express your self.

I mean it could have gave some people comfort, to know that it will be okay in some time. It just gives them some hope. They could have also did it because it can send messages. To each other anyway

the songs gave them hope

I think it played such a pig part because helped them to escape slavery and told them were to go to get out of slavery that is how I think it played such an IMPORTANT ROLE IN HISTORY

# data[].attributes.body
music is how they secertly comunicated

# data[].attributes.body
some music had hidden messages and it could be a message to escape  or communicated

# data[].attributes.body
Music was one of the ways of communication between enslaved people. It could help slaves follow a certain route to freedom or help them find things of importance. When multiple people who were enslaved sung together, maybe they were bringing courage to their peer

I think songs played a big role in African American community's during this time because most of them couldn't read or write so they sang.

# data[].attributes.body
its, how, they, communicated, with, other, and the how they got their voice heard.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that music played such a large role in the African American community during slavery because it hid the fact that they were talking about the Underground Railroad. it hid the fact because if they were singing then the master would think that they were just singing because maybe they were just happy, but they were really telling their friends that they would leave

Music conveys hidden messages.
if somebody was going to escape they might sing something meaning they are leaving.
also entertains and passes time

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that music played a big role because it was part of religion and the songs they sang were about freedom and claiming their own independence from their owners

# data[].attributes.body
I think music played such a big role because whenever I listen to music, it makes me feel better, and if you are a trapped slave, music can help you feel better. People would use songs as stories, hopefulness, and entertainment. I think the blues were invented then?, if not maybe a style of it.

Songs played a large Rolle in the African American community during slavery because that is one way they tolled each other about leaving or were to go so know one else like master would find them because they did not know what that meant. Or even comfort, and expresstion

I think the reason music played such a larger roll in the African American community because A) music is such a big way to express your self and B) it was code. the slave owners didn't know it was code they thought it was just people singing. It also brought them hope because singing is such a beautiful thing
