Religion for some people can be liberating, but for others, it can be oppressive. The goal of this assignment is to help students understand how enslaved people used religion to resist slavery and how slave owners used it to control their slaves. The assignment consists of two parts, the discussion post, and the essay portion. The project will give students the opportunity to examine various primary sources, for example, spirituals and a confession (Nat Turner’s) in order to understand the religion and the slave system.
