African American churches

History...

In 19th Century, African American religion was born during the antebellum period. In the south it was a theology of suffering for the stresses of slavery. African people in the South could not have a good education. The north theology trusted the faith in Christ. There’s a difference the North and the South, the northern theology adequately addressed empowermentcore concerns while the southern theology did not.

When slavery ended, the southern church began to adopt the northern theology.  Between 1870 and 1910 the African American church had a big bang growth. In late 19th Century the terrorism of the post-reconstruction south, had an influence and they returned to the old, classic theology. The northern  theological tradition was not so much followed. Without a “leader” lot of these churches ended this tradition.

Their theology of suffering was a life serving and beneficial in the context of the South. In the younger generations younger men were unable to connect with the message of the traditional church. It was rooted in the theology of suffering, the central role of theology in the movement was never recognized. The Civil Rights Movement followed more southern than northern issues. 1970s most African Americans lived in the North; younger African American generation began to become disconnected from the traditional Black church. By the end of the 20th Century, all the non-Christian left the African American.
