The Trinity test was the first test of a nuclear weapon by the United States. It took place on July 16, 1945. It was the first explosion in the history of a weapon of this type. The detonated bomb used plutonium fissile material, like the one released later on Nagasaki, Japan.

At the time of the detonation, the surrounding mountains were illuminated for one to two seconds. The observed colors of the illumination varied from purple to green, and finally to white. The explosion took 40 seconds to reach the observers and the shock wave could be felt 160 kilometers away. The mushroom cloud reached 12 kilometers.

The Army reported the event as an accidental explosion in an area of ammunition disposal, which was not denied or made public until August 6, after the attack on Hiroshima.

Religion among the Slaves

Next to the family, religion was the most important feature of slave life in the quarters. A deep faith and hope of deliverance sustained the slaves during their long years of bondage. On most plantations, slaves went to church with the white people. Then, after formal services in the white church, slaves usually conducted their own religious ceremonies called praise meetings. Those activities took place in the quarters and were attended only by the slaves.

In the praise meetings, slaves were free to express their innermost feelings through their songs, chants, spirituals, and dances—many of which were African in origin. Slaves were unrestrained at those times. They often acted out their deepest anxieties, frustrations, and anger in tribal dances, accompanied by the rhythmic chanting and clapping of other slaves. These ceremonies were an escape for slaves and enabled them to “let off steam” that might otherwise have been expressed in some form of violence. These religious activities also enabled slaves to preserve some of the cultural features of their African heritage.
