Spirituals became a sore of hope and faith

Over time songs were formed by slaves as a way to communicate secret messages, and a way to distract themselves from the job. The songs started in the fields of tobacco and cotton, but quickly spread to Atlantic harbor and Mississippi bayou as slaves were shuffled from owner to owner.

In some places enslaved Africans were permitted, or even encouraged, to hold their own prayer meetings. Because they were unable to express themselves freely in ways that were spiritually meaningful to them, religious services were, at times, the only place slaves could legitimately congregate, socialize, and safely express feelings. During these meetings, worshipers would sing, chant, dance and sometimes enter ecstatic trances. Along with spirituals, shouts also emerged in the Praise Houses.
