How did gospel music affect the slaves?

[Edit]

Firstly, just to explain about why slaves use gospel music. They used it for escaping their captivity and bondage. They used it like codes and subliminal messages so the slave masters would'nt know what they were talking about. How Gospel music affected them? you asked. Well this was the only way they can keep their spirits uplifted because they know what they were going through and other times they knew that they had no choice but to hold it out and keep on working sun up to sun down until it was right for them or they got fed up.
