Answer: Many African Americans became ministers and formed their own congregations.

Explanation: You take that sentence and replace it with but they were forced to attend white-led plantation churches. This is not true because in the South, they believed most blacks were rid with disease. All African Americans were allowed to do was work. And yes, some slave owners treated there slaves kindly, but slaves still were not permitted inside a church with the white people.
