As slaves, Blacks were converted to Christianity. After the war, the Black Church became the most important institution of the Black community. Depending on where they lived, southern Blacks had varied experiences. While larger cities like New Orleans made life for newly freed slaves somewhat less difficult than the rest of the south, Black Codes were enacted greatly restricting what Blacks could do and how they could live. The Black Church became the nucleus of the southern Black community and religious, political as well as most social interactions were largely centered there.
Slavery had profound impacts on African Americans in the South, shaping their political, social, and religious experiences. Politically, they were denied basic rights and participation in governance. Socially, slavery created a system of oppression and deep racial divisions. Religious life was influenced by the need for solace and community in the face of suffering and the search for liberation and justice.
