Slavery Culture in the South
By Payton
Slaves used old traditions
They brought their cooking styles
They brought their gospel singing
Slaves adapted Christianity and African religious ways
Slaves lived together
Some stayed in small shacks
Others stayed in slave quarters
Families stayed together
Slaves attended church
They valued traditions and family
They hoped and dreamed for freedom
Old traditions kept happiness
Religious rites did too
Slaves worshiped with great enthusiasm
Praying kept hopes for freedom
They were great story tellers
Folk tales were about animals
Animals took characteristics of people
Slaves sang songs for joy
Songs sung by the men
“Swing low Sweet Chariot”
“Marching ‘Round Selma”
Influence on slave culture
Old traditions affected their culture
Limitations of activities affected slaves
Religion played a big role
