                                    Music through Time
Hi guys for the last few weeks we have been learning about slavery. They ships them to the states to do their dirty work but they cant do it them self.The ship would sail to the west  coast of Africa. People form the interior of Africa.In the middle of the ocean when the slavery are drying they take them of the ship to drop in the ocean. So the people from america makes the Africa do their job. The music is to express their feelings whether it was sorrow,joy. They songs that they were singing for the people that pass away.They were there to use them for money and they were picking cotton and sugar, tobacco. So Harriet Tubman helped 300 people to escape from the Americans. She made 19 trips into the south and escorted.Harriet Tubman is perhaps the most well-known of all the Underground Railroad. 

Here the songs that they sing:

Chorus: Wade in the Water, wade in the water children.

Wade in the Water. God’s gonna trouble the water.
Who are those children all dressed in Red?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that Moses led.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

Chorus

Who are those children all dressed in White?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones of the Israelite.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

Chorus

Who are those children all dressed in Blue?
God’s gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that made it through.
God’s gonna trouble the water.

Chorus
