African American preachers in the pre-Civil War South developed intoned style of extemporaneous preaching , which were rhythmic sermons that made symbolic connections between the Jews and the plight of the slaves.
Step-by-step explanation:
It was a time when religious revival took place called as the “Awakening”. Increased slaves turned themselves towards God through Methodist and Baptist faith. They believed that only God could save them from their slavery. The African American gathered in their respective slave quarters.
