Black people in America recognized that the evil they suffered was imposed on them, not a result of their own actions. The enslaved recognized this injustice because they lived it every day. But they did not let the harm they endured hinder their hopes for a better future or extinguish their attempts at resistance. Enslaved blacks did not passively suffer abuse. Christianity, in fact, became a source of strength and survival, bringing hope to thousands of enslaved people.
