Religion in Slavery

How were the slaves forced into Christianity?

Were they allowed to keep their religion?

Yes...?

Yes and no, most of the time the slavers/masters would force the slaves into Christianity. Some slaves adapted their religion with Christianity, inventing practices called hoodoo and voodoo. One of the reasons the slaves adapted the religion was that they were told they would be freed if they did.

Was Christianity the only religion forced upon the African slaves?

What were the religions?

Myalism

Obeah

Islamic

Africa was one of the first places to accept the Islamic religion.

Voodoo

What was the main religion in Africa?

Blacks during the seventeenth century would often baptize their children and marry in the church to help integrate their families with society, although later on laws were passed that insured a slave's status would not change because of the slave's religion.
