american Slave Culture Religion: Slave religion was mostly catholic and there were a few slaves that weren't catholic but most of them were catholic. They were not aloud to enter a church or pray and if they got caught worshiping God there would be problems. slaves would try to meet up in the woods and have secret prayer meeting but they had to do it secretively because ounce again if they get caught they would be in big big trouble. Gender Roles: pretty much all the men would help with the war and would not be home with there wife's or girlfriends. the women would end up signing up for jobs that would help out the community. Like nursing or knitt to help make clothes so basically they would help the best they could or as much as they can. But as being seen as nothing much as dirt it was hard to help because people didnt even want to talk to them because there a different skin color let alone let them help. Food gathering: The slaves would mainly eat Corn meal, lard, peas, greens, flowers and molasses basically they ate really bad food like who would want to eat lard that's literally the fat of an animal that's discussing and it would be so nasty to live off that stuff. They should of been treated a little better than that i mean they were fed like animals they ate table scraps basically. Language/social stratification:Slaves are one of the lowest of stratification system. They have no wealth or income of there own. They barely own there own clothes off there own back. There basically just treated like dirt everyone just walked all over them. They had no control over whats going on. People hated them and didnt even care if they were around they were treated like objects not like humans. Sexual Permissiveness: Slave women were often times are having to sleep with there owners like Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemming's had six kids and Sara was a slave and she was forced to be sleeping with Thomas. It was looked down on to be something out of the normal society. Him being the president and have babies with a slave was shocking and especially 6 of them. Family Structure: Family's were ripped apart by there owners by selling them they didn't care that they were married or if they had kids all the owner cared about was the money in his pocket. 10-20 percent of slave marriages were destroyed by slave sales. Some slave owners would let them stay together. One slave owner might own the husband and the other own the wife therefore would have to ask to go see each other and very rarely could they see each other and that's only if hes nice. But a lot of the times they didn't have family's and would just be all split up. Art: Africans were the first few people who started cave paintings. But with being a slave they really didn't have much time to be able to paint or to being doing artistic things the most they would have to be able to do is they would get to make quilts and a lot of the times it would be the women making the quilts.

Sports, Games and entertainment: one thing that slaves like to do after working a long hard day was they liked to dance or tell story's. Sometimes they would sing songs while having to work but they really didn't have time to have fun seems they work like all day then by time they get a chance to chill they probably rested there really wasn't time for fun.

Rituals: Slaves had a secrete religion because they really weren't aloud to be religious. and if they were aloud it would be a white man preaching and h would just say to listen to your master but they a wanted real preaching so they would form there own meetings and do some real preaching. They would whisper prayers and sing songs.
