Christianity and slaves (http://www.pbs.org/wnet/slavery/experience/religion/history2.html) web citation ( blog.ccbcmd.edu) pic citation
As late as 1800, not many slaves had been introduced to Christianity. However in later years, a lot of Protestant Evangelicalism in the South brought a conversion of everyone else in the area, including the slaves. Although there was a very big push to convert by the christians in that time,not very many slaves were actually successfully converted. Many more slaves were converted to Christianity during the second wide spread Christian awakening of the 1800s.
