The Significance of Slavery and Spirituals

A spiritual is a type of religious song. The song was sung at informal gatherings of slaves in "praise houses" and outdoor meetings called "brush arbour meetings", "bush meetings", "cap gatherings".

Harriet Tubman saved tons of people that were slaves.

Steal Away This song communicates that the person singing it is planning to escape.

Chorus: steal away, steal away!

Steal away to Jesus?
Steal away, steal away home!
I ain’t got long to stay here!

My Lord calls me!
He calls me by the thunder!
The trumpet sound it in my soul!
I ain’t got long to stay here!

Chorus

My Lord calls me!
He calls me by the lighting!
The trumpet sound it in my soul!
I ain’t got long to stay here!

Chorus.
