bob300w Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Not many people know that.... The codes of the first ***** spirituals are often related with an escape to a free country. For example, a “home†is a safe place where everyone can live free. So, a “home†can mean Heaven, but it covertly means a sweet and free country, a haven for slaves. The ways used by fugitives running to a free country were riding a “chariot†or a “trainâ€. The ***** spirituals “The Gospel Train†and “Swing low, sweet chariot†directly refer to the Underground Railroad, an informal organization who helped many slaves to flee. The words of “The Gospel train†are “She is coming… Get onboard… There’s room for many moreâ€. This is a direct call to go way, by riding a “train†which stops at “stationsâ€. Then, “Swing low, sweet chariot†refers to Ripley, a “station†of the Underground Railroad, where fugitive slaves were welcome. This town is atop a hill, by Ohio River, which is not easy to cross. So, to reach this place, fugitives had to wait for help coming from the hill. The words of this spirituals say,“I looked over Jordan and what did I see/ Coming for to carry me home/ A band of angels coming after me†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
