The history of Islam in America is usually divided into two periods: the decades before WWI and the last couple of decades. But there is evidence of Islam before that time, stretching all the way before the Revolutionary War. Muslims were taken as slaves and there were several freedmen war heroes that were Muslim. Is it possible for one of these freedmen to spread the word about Allah or for captured Muslims to do so? Would the slaveowners be against it?

And, if it's possible, what are the possible ramifications for slavery, discrimination, and Black movements.

I appreciate any input.
