Discussion Thread: Emancipation and the Church

As we saw from the Module Learn and Watch items, the Church was at the center of shaping the new culture of the freedman. Not only was it a haven of worship, but it was the go-to place for economic well-being and getting started in political leadership within the community and beyond.

Use specific examples from at least 3 sources from your Module 1 textbook readings, presentations, and the sources listed below to craft 2 paragraphs. First, assess the role that Christianity played in shaping the Emancipation experience, and explain how churches informed the political and economic opportunities available to newly freed slaves. Lastly, comment on the role of the Church today within your community, citing and applying at least one Biblical principle.
