There are three main ways African religions communicate with the supernatural. Brief description to each is found below.

Supreme God
They worshipped the Supreme God through constant communion with lesser deities and ancestral spirits. This is done by performing libation or sacrifice — offering animals, vegetables, food, flowers and other precious materials.

Divination
This is the term given when consulting to oracular deities. There are a lot of techniques on casting divination, but actual practice is done with small objects e.g. bones, shells, stones, leathers or wood pieces.

Cyclical nature of reality
Believing that nature is an integral part of their religion. So, all natural phenomena is thought to be responsible for their daily needs. This encloses aspects such as tides, moon, rain, day, sun, stars, etc.

enot [183]
You could say that he appealed to pathos. It's an appeal to emotion while ethos is to credibility. He used pathos to speak about sad things like secession and about the evils of slavery and why it should end. He didn't have to appeal to credibility because he was already the president so everyone knew why he was competent.

A social contract is an agreement between
Digiron [165]

A social contract is an agreement between <u>the ruled and their rulers or the government and the people.</u>

In political philosophy the concept of the social contract was first fully developed by the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes in his book named "Leviathan: The Matter, Form, and Power of a Commonwealth, Ecclesiastical and Civil" (1651).

The author defined a social contract as an agreement between the ruled and their rulers, in which all individuals in a society cede their natural rights (life, liberty, property, etc.) to an absolute government, even meaning that individuals would have to accept abuses of power. Through the contract people could live better and maintain peace, receive protection and avoid conflict by the establishment of a civil society.
