The corrected sentence: 'Contrary to belief, slaves were not always forced into white-led churches but had their own faith practices and even established African-American churches, like the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which offered solace and a space for resistance.'
The sentence that corrects a historical inaccuracy in the passage could be: 'Contrary to beliefs, slaves were not forced to attend white-led plantation churches as some slaves could worship in their own faith practices, sometimes even establishing their own African-American churches, such as the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the first independent Black Protestant church in the United States.'
This accounts for the historical fact that African-Americans, though enslaved, found ways to express their faith apart from their white overseers. This was particularly prevalent with the rise of religious movements and the establishment of Black churches, which provided a space for spiritual solace, community fellowship, and the articulation of hope and resistance to slavery in the antebellum south.
For example, the rise of the Methodist and Baptist traditions, encouraged emotional responses to scripture, attracted many enslaved individuals and inspired some to become preachers. Christian hymns, with a particular focus on the biblical story of the Exodus, became a coded language of resistance and a testament to the struggles and future aspirations of enslaved people.

Vagrancy happens when a seemingly homeless person wanders from one place to another without a purpose. Vagrants usually live in poverty and support themselves by begging, temporary work, theft, garbage scrapping, collecting waste and sometimes welfare.
The word vagrant derives from Latin vagari which means 'wander'.
Vagrancy is a crime against public order ( together with disorderly conduct ).
These are usually trivial types of public misconduct with a relatively low-level punishment. Public order offenses include among many others : public drinking, loitering, aggressive begging in the streets.
A known fact is the discretion of the police while acting against public order offences. Such laws are often not even formally enforced. The offenders are told to put an end to their activities without any further actions. It is done because of the human touch factor here - the offenders are often victims of unfairness and injustice in the society.
