Slaves were encouraged to go to church as an alternative to practicing non Christian African religions; most slave owners were Christian and felt that they had the obligation to make sure the slaves' souls were saved. Christianity helped make slaves more obedient and to behave better.
Allowing slaves to attend church served as a way for slave owners to control and monitor their behavior, promote obedience and submission through Christian teachings, and instill the idea that slavery was divinely ordained. It also provided some spiritual comfort and hope for slaves in the midst of their harsh living conditions.
Slaves went to church for various reasons, which included spiritual fulfillment, community connections, and sometimes to receive messages of hope and liberation. Additionally, attending church provided a sense of belonging and communal strength, as well as a space for resistance and organizing against oppressive systems.
Slaves typically wore their everyday clothing to church, which often consisted of simple garments made from coarse fabric. However, some slaves may have reserved special or slightly nicer clothing for Sunday services to demonstrate respect and reverence for the occasion. Ultimately, the clothing worn by slaves to church varied depending on individual circumstances and resources.
Slaves typically spent their free hours on Sundays engaging in religious activities, socializing with family and friends, and engaging in leisure activities such as dancing, singing, and storytelling. It was a day where they could briefly escape the hardships of their daily lives and find moments of joy and connection within their community.
Slave owners feared that allowing slaves to attend church on their own might lead to gatherings where they could potentially plan rebellions or uprisings. By closely monitoring their slaves' activities, slave owners hoped to prevent any form of organized resistance and maintain control over them.
