Explanation: In the US Civil War, fought over the secessionist South’s insistence on maintaining chattel slavery for Black folk, one of the major anti-slavery strains was explicitly religious, based on the idea that we were all children of the Christian God and thus inherently equals - making slavery, and especially racially-based slavery, an abomination.
They made some good tunes with that in mind.
Do you have any particular recommendations for any songs in particular?
Oh, damn, I forgot to respond to this!
Both The Battle Hymn Of The Republic and the original form, John Brown’s Body, are intensely religious songs with a militant antislavery stance, and slap.
