Negro Spirituals
Negro Spirituals were very inspirational, in a way that gave slaves the motivation to survive, and keep on.
Lyrics of Negro spirituals were often associated with the power of God, or the evil of Satan.
Spirituals cast the belief that the slaves would be saved, liberated from slavery.
The song, "Go Down Moses" links the connection between Moses saving the slaves in Egypt, and the slaves in the South.
