How did religion serve as a means of resistance to slaves and in what sense was religion a vehicle for strengthening the "slave community"?

Some religious slave owners and other racist of the day believed that the Black race was a scorge and that to be black was a sin.
This was the farthest thing from the truth.
Black slaves had a strong sense of community and a strong sense of God. Believing in God was the strength that these slaves held on to for one day being freemen. They kept their faith.
As a result the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church was founded.

You could get about 10,000 answers for this.
You should also say when.. Biblical Days when they had many slaves
Black slaves before the civil war when the blacks were sold into
slavery by other blacks.
Japanes white girl slaves.
Germany when they used slaves to fight..
Pick a time and date..There are more slaves in the world today than there was during our civil war.

alos, being stripped of everything they ever knew, including their names, religion became the only way for them to be a community, a family.
