Question

religious participation helped many enslaved people cope with their daily miseries? true or false?answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe the correct answer is True.

Explanation:

According to Karl Marx, "Religion is the opium of the people" and this was evident during the slavery period. Religion, which is the "opium" helped a lot of enslaved people forget their miseries and their present sufferings. The bulk of American slaves were from Africa, especially West Africa, who already had a deep root in religion, predominantly, Christianity and this was a result of European influence. Before this, Africans had a strong relationship and bond with their creator. Some of them prayed to their ancestors and deities. They had various spiritual songs and the rituals they do. As time passed, the slaves (African) became grounded in Christianity. They found solace with God and would usually sing spiritual songs as they worked on plantations.
