The spirituals celebrated historical events, and reflected unique views of growing nation in a different way.

Step-by-step explanation:

Religious revivalism means increase in spiritual interest or revival in the life of church worshipers.

The American music expresses religious works like Spirituals as well as depicts about the development of America.

American music improved religious faith. Revivalism was followed in Jamaica between 1860 and 1861. This revivalism is a combination of African pagan beliefs and Christianity. Religious revivalism made a great impact in America, when the interest for religion is increased.
