Use of Spirituals
The use of spirituals was that it gave them hope. Music was a way for slaves to express their feelings whether it was sorrow, joy, inspiration or hope. Songs were passed down from generation throughout the time of slavery. These songs were controlled by African and religious tradition.
Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman was a famous slave helper and used songs to message slaves and help African slaves escape the border, they would go trough the rivers to remove the scent because the dogs could track them down. Thousands of people got saved and became free because of one lady, there were several slave helpers but the most of popular was Harriet Tubman because of all of the people that she helped. They travelled from the south to the north of America, which was the safe part of America because they could be free. The Africa slave swore not to return. Harriet Tubman did this over and over again helping many more people.
