question 6 of 10
during slavery, most african americans who wanted to worship went to white churches or:

a. held their own services in secret.

b. traveled to attend religious revivals.

c. raised funds to build their own churches.

d. relied on traveling preachers.

Explanation:

During slavery, African Americans faced restrictions on worshiping freely in their own way in white - dominated spaces. Building their own churches (option C) would likely be restricted by slave owners, traveling to revivals (option B) or relying on traveling preachers (option D) were not the primary alternative to white churches. However, many African Americans held their own religious services in secret as a way to practice their faith in a manner that was meaningful to them and in line with their cultural and spiritual needs, away from the control and oversight of slave owners and white church authorities.

Answer:

A. held their own services in secret.
