Slavemaster's Religion: owners and White ministers all said that if you disobey your master, you offend God.
Slave Religion: The invisible churches of the slaves were held in slave quarters or secret forest clearings called "hush arbors." When the slaves sang "Steal Away to Jesus" that would mean that there was going to be a meeting that night. Black preachers often told the story of Moses because it gave them hope that one day they would be free.
