Slave Religion was based on what slaves learned from white ministers, existed without approval from masters, benefited from masters assigning a slave chaplain, and combined both African traditions and Christian beliefs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Slave Religion, which is a historical topic.

During the period of enslavement in the United States, slaves were influenced by religion. Slave owners recognized that religion could be used as a form of social control and allowed slaves to hear biblical scripture, but only to reinforce their subordination.
