The song "Go Down Moses" is a spiritual that originated in the United States during the slavery era. It is believed to have been developed by African Americans, particularly those in the southern states, as a way to express their struggles and hopes for freedom.
It was a cue to leave that night to follow the underground railroad to freedom.
Many African American spirituals compared the slavery in America to the slavery of the Israelites in the story of Moses. Moses and God repeatedly ask Pharaoh to let the slaves go. Writers of spirituals like this one are also demanding that slaves be freed.
The spiritual "Go Down Moses" was an anti-slavery song. Slaves identified with the enslaved children of Israel in the biblical story of Moses. The song made it clear that the slaves knew slavery was wrong, and that God felt it was wrong as well. Viewed as incendiary to slaves, it was forbidden by slave owners.
