Solution
The correct option is C Slaves on plantations
Spirituals were of great importance to Slaves on
plantations. Slaves sang spirituals because of the comfort they brought. Slaves
likened their situation to that of the Jews in the Bible who were led to the
Promised Land by Moses. Spirituals gave
the slaves an identity which appearances seemed to believe that of a people
chosen by the Lord. Their songs summarized these beliefs, expressing in broken
words the genuine spiritual realities of a world unseen, the world of Christian
virtues: forgiveness, hope, faith, love, endurance, eternal life, holiness.
