This dissertation analyzes patterns of religious activity among Southern slaves and freedmen between the years 1830 and 1870. This dissertation has two clear objectives. First of all, this research provides a clearer statistical portrait of what most historians of slave religion interpret to be the emerging African-American Christian community of the middle to late nineteenth century. The primary means of analysis for this aspect of the dissertation is a quantitative survey of religious data found in the WPA slave narratives and post-1830 slave autobiographies. Secondly, the dissertation determines that the greatest point of African-American conversion to Christianity succeeded the Civil War. The author argues that slavery did not provide conditions conducive for converting a majority of the slaves to Christianity thus mass conversion awaited the Civil War and the coming of freedom. An analysis of the Christian missions to the slaves and freedmen is central to the final interpretation. Additionally, as historians such as Michael A. Gomez and John Willis argue that greater religious diversity existed within the slave community, the dissertation explores religious alternatives to Christianity such as Islam, Voodoo, and conjure within the slave community. The author concluded that localized, modified forms of African Traditional Religions were the dominate belief systems among the antebellum slave community, The survey results, archaeological data from slave site excavations, folklore collections, and pertinent secondary literature provided the source base for this analysis. Finally, The dissertation attempts to confirm, refute, or refine the arguments of religion and slavery historians such as Albert Raboteau, Mechal Sobel, Eugene Genovese, John Boles, and John Blassingame.
