A spiritual is a type of religous song, they would sing in a place called praise houses, whilst singing these songs there may have been messages passed through in the lyrics. There is a popular song called "Roll Jordan Roll" that was in the film 12 years a slave. They sung this song to lift up the dead spirit of there friend. Spiritual song were also used as a song in protest or used to escape slavery. There was a man named Wallace Willis who wrote a lot of slavery songs such as "Steal away to jesus" "Im a rollin" and " The angels are coming". Spirituals were also used in occasional weddings if it were allowed to, to give hope, churches, and to uplift the slaves. Harriet tubman used the song "Wade in the water" to communicate and tell the other slaves to go into the water so that the dogs couldnt smell their traill.
