こんにちは! Welcome to another post. For the past few weeks, in Social Science (studies) we have been learning about the history of the Slave Trade Triangle. During the late 16th century to early 19th century, a traumatizing horrible cycle of human trafficking slavery had gone on during those times between these three particular places. We also learned about how music is related to this topic.
You will learn more about it in this Google Maps
I've made with details of events.
Blogging Task:
1.) Explain the use of Spirituals and what they were
Spirituals are in other words for their songs. They used spiritual kinds of music in a variety of ways such as to give them hope, inspire them, sang in a religious event, and last but not the least, a way to communicate to each other about their plans or the next move.
2.) Explain who Harriet Tubman and what the Underground Railroad was.
3.) Write about a spiritual you choose and highlight some lyrics and the hidden message behind them.
As explained in 1.Spirituals are the kind of religious songs that can be used to communicate with each other. This means it has some sort of hidden messages behind every spiritual.
Let's take this one song as an example - Sweet Chariot
4.) How are these events significant today?
These events are significant because still to this day, unfortunately, there is still some slavery--human trafficking-- going on until to this day around the world but we never know.
