How did black christianity differ from white christianity in the old south? how did black christianity in the south differ from black christianity in the north?

Answer 1

In the old South, black Christianity differed from white Christianity in terms of worship style and educational requirements. Black churches in the South eventually broke away from white churches to establish their own religious autonomy.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the old South, black Christianity differed from white Christianity in terms of worship style and educational requirements. Southern black churches preferred worship services with more emphasis on inspired preaching, while northern black churches favored more orderly worship and an educated ministry. This difference reflected the cultural and social contexts of the regions. Additionally, black Christianity in the South differed from black Christianity in the North in terms of their connections to white churches. While many black churches in the South were initially associated with white churches, over time, African Americans recognized the hypocrisy of both the clergy and white parishioners and broke away to create their own churches with their own religious autonomy.

Answer 2

The First Great Awakening was the result of the Civil War which sprang up Methodist and Southern Baptists in the south both for prior Caucasian slave owners and for freed African American slaves. The thing is as a result of segregation the freed African American slaves grouped together to form their churches while the Caucasian prior slave owners kept their churches "pure" meaning kept African Americans out of their churches. The fact is that because there still are African American churches in the south is proof of the segregation which had existed way back then.
