Answer:

"Regular Sunday worship in the local church was paralleled by illicit, or at least informal, prayer meetings on weeknights in the slave cabins. Preachers licensed by the church and hired by the master were supplemented by slave preachers licensed only by the spirit. Texts from the Bible, which most slaves could not read, were explicated by verses from the spirituals. Slaves forbidden by masters to attend church or, in some cases, even to pray, risked floggings to attend secret gatherings to worship God."

What was one of the effects of Mansa Musa’s pilgrimage to Mecca.

Whitepunk [10]

As far as the impacts of the pilgrimage go, they are numerous. First, Mansa Musa established his presence for other rulers in Europe and the Middle East. Secondly, the amount of gold they carried and the king’s generosity in its regard expressed his wealthy status. The journey to Mecca had a number of effects on the history of Western Sudan. Most significantly, the pilgrimage journey exposed Mali to Europe and the Middle East. The king had carried 30,000 pounds of gold, which signified the immense wealth in his empire.
