During the period of slavery in the United States prior to the Civil War, slaves sang some spiritual songs that bore hidden, non-religious content. The hidden content of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" was to encourage other slaves that the 'Chariot’ drivers (Underground Railroad ‘conductors’) would someday enable their safe escape to worldy freedom in the North.
