It showed them where te north star is
Regardless of the season or the time of night, the "drinkin' gourd" always appears in the northern sky, which was the direction in which freedom lay for most of the fugitive slaves.
The Big Dipper is the most recognizable constellation in the night sky.
Seeing the Big Dipper can symbolize guidance, direction, and hope. In many cultures, it is seen as a sign of protection and good fortune. It can also represent strength, stability, and the interconnectedness of the universe.
The Small Dipper and Big Dipper differ in size and constellation patterns. The Big Dipper is larger and has a more distinct shape, with seven bright stars forming a ladle shape. The Small Dipper is smaller and less prominent, with fewer stars and a less defined shape. Both are part of the Ursa Major constellation, but the Big Dipper is a more recognizable and easily identifiable asterism.
Good question. No they don't actually - Polaris (end of handle and North Star) and Kochab (tip of the bowl) are the brightest stars. All the others are significantly dimmer, unlike the Big Dipper, whose seven stars all have similar magnitudes.

It is a good guide because part of the Big Dipper is THE NORTH STAR! The North Star helped slaves from the South (for example.) escape to the North. There are many other times when the star helped people. I hope I helped!
None - it is just good layering in the intro of slaves shall serve; I can assure you being vocalist myself - good metal vocalists do not use any distorion except their natural vocal distortion neither does Nergal as he's one of them.
Good luck

Many things were used to justify slavery. One of the arguments was that without slavery the people who were slaves would be living in worse conditions. Another was that The Bible gave them permission to have slaves and that slavery had been accepted worldwide for thousands of years. Another excuse was that by making people slaves Christian souls were saved and that Northern factory workers were not as well off as slaves. That slavery was a positive good and that the slave owner could protect and guide the slaves. Finally, that the slaves were needed to do the work.
