Slave triangle

Explain the use of Spirituals and what they were:

Explain who Harriet Tubman and what the Underground Railroad was: 

Harriet Tubman is a woman who lived through the ERA when slavery was a thing. She worked in an underground railroads that stretched out through america. She helped get over three hundred slaves freedom in america when slavery was around.

Write about a spiritual you chose and highlight some lyrics and the hidden messages behind them: 

Chorus: Wade in the Water, wade in the water children.

Wade in the Water. God’s gonna trouble the water.
Who are those children all dressed in Red?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that Moses led.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

Chorus

Who are those children all dressed in White?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones of the Israelites.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

Chorus

Who are those children all dressed in Blue?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that made it through.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

Chorus

This lyric is telling me about how hard it was being a slave and that it was not a good thing the slaves had to sing to collaborate against each other and so the masters would not know what they were saying.

How are these events still significant: 

The slaves were used too

1. Uplift slaves 

2. Give them hope

3. Church, funerals and if allowed weddings

4. And to relay secret messages to help them escape. Like Wade in the water
