Sumario:In an attempt to better understand the trans-Atlantic and sub-Saharan slave trade, religion’s use of conversion by Christians and Muslims alike, has instituted and justified slavery. In this article, I explore different religious (Conjuration, Islam, and Christianity) practices by the enslaved African people when they were forcibly displaced and resettled to the New World. I also examine how the enslaved African people reused religion to fight for their freedom.
