EXPLORE THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN RELIGION AND SLAVERY IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD.

This website is a digital initiative to bring to light the role of religion in trans-Atlantic slavery. Using the essays and primary sources provided, you can explore the ways enslavers used religion to justify enslavement and the importance of religion in the daily lives of enslaved people as they were forcibly dispersed throughout the Americas.

Religion and Slavery

Please be aware some of this site is still under construction. We need to add images, find additional primary sources, and create informational videos. These things take time and money. If you would like to get involved with this project, please contact Dr. Matthew Blake Strickland at:

  • Add additional primary sources
  • Add additional essays
  • Add to the list of resources
  • Link to other digital humanities projects
  • Create short informational videos and documentaries
  • Create a pedagogy page and develop lesson plans for instruction
