John Greenleaf Whittier Research Paper

Douglass got his passion to promote freedom for all slaves after he escaped from slavery and ultimately had an end goal to “abolish slavery in all its forms and aspects, and promote the moral and intellectual improvement of the coloured people and hasten the day of freedom to the three million of enslaved fellow countrymen”. He also wrote several autobiographies describing his experiences as a slave. One of the autobiographies in particular, ‘Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave’ published in 1845 was a best-selling and was extremely influential for promoting the cause of abolition. The narrative shows a compelling argument to basic human rights thus making it extremely influential as the narrative clearly possesses features and linguistic skills, which for most white people, negated their common perception of black people being illiterate in the 19th century.

George Washington Lane was born to Jonathan and Mary Colley Lane 1806. George was either born in Cherokee or Ogelthorp County Georgia. In 1818 George moved to Limestone County Alabama with his mother Mary Colley Lane. George earned an elementary education after arriving in Alabama. He read law under Judge Daniel Coleman and was admitted to the bar in 1826. George was then elected probate judge of Limestone County, Alabama and then was elected circuit judge, he served that office for sixteen consecutive years. George represented Limestone County on several occasions in the legislature. On October 3, 1834 George Married Martha Nicholas Davis the daughter of Captain Nicholas Davis. George and Martha had 11 children, Robert Wilson Lane, George Gale, Nicholas, Mary, Kate Gaston, Belta Colley, May Fern, Charles Paul, and Hector Davis are the children listed in the 1840 census. Seven of George’s children lived to adulthood. The 1840 census of Limestone County Alabama lists George as head of a household of 48. George owned 44 slaves. George Washington Lane was a highly respected and successful farmer, lawyer and politician at the beginning of the anti-slavery movement. As the anti-slavery movement increased, George is said to have freed all of his slaves soon after the secession debates in Montgomery were held. George was strongly opposed to secession. George was convinced that secession was a mistake, and to let everyone know how he felt, he hung a union flag over his door. Apparently George’s beliefs were well known and had found their way to Washington around April of 1861. At that time it is said that he was appointed Federal Judge of

“He believed in freedom of mankind and he preached it, openly, bravely, at a time when such preaching meant not merely social ostracism and political opposition, but personal danger,” was how Theodore Weld was described shortly after his death in 1859. Not only is this description true, but it highlights Theodore Weld’s passion to end slavery as a bold abolitionist. His approach to ending slavery was different from other abolitionists; Weld desired to spread education rather than accusation. This resulted in people attaining a better understanding of slavery and knowing the why of how slavery is wrong and oppressive. Weld was also very capable of lecturing and is popularly known as “one of the most fearless and powerful lecturers” , while that is true, Weld accomplished many other things that were more effective than his lecturing. Such as publishing works on slavery that inspired others to participate in the abolitionist movement and he also participated in the infamous American Anti-Slavery Society(AASS), which Weld greatly improved by implementing an agency called the Seventy within the AASS. Although Theodore Weld’s lectures were very persuasive, his published works and educational approach to spreading abolitionism is more significant due to the effectiveness in advocating and influencing his belief to a wider audience, such as Harriet Stowe and creating a lasting impact by educating the young to continue the anti-slavery movement.

The fireside poets were popular at a time when the United States was a new nation, suffering pressure from outside governments as well as growing pains of its own. Historical events such as the War of 1812 threatened to overwhelm the young democracy. At the same time, there was the beginning of the push for westward expansion, and the beginnings of the schism over slavery which would culminate in the Civil War. The fireside poets represented a movement to involve the reader in events of the current day through literature. Most of them had causes about which they were passionate, and they incorporated this into their writing, inviting readers to consider highly charged issues such as abolition, workers’ rights, and immigration on a level that was more personal than had previously been done. Literature has frequently been reflective of the social and political climate in which it is written. The fireside poets were one of the first groups to take their views to a more real-world level, in founding magazines such as the Atlantic Monthly (John Greenleaf Whittier), supporting public projects such as Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (William Cullen Bryant), and even founding a political party and running for Congress (John Greenleaf Whittier). The lead-up to the Civil War was also weighing on the minds of many, which prompted Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to write “Paul Revere’s Ride”, an encouragement to a young country facing a serious conflict.

During the 1780s and 1790s Reverend John Newton, preached against the horrors of slavery and spoke of his participation in the slave trade. He converted William Wilberforce, a member of Parliament, worked with Thomas Clarkson and Granville Sharp to end the slave trade. Through their writings speeches and meetings they spread knowledge of its evils. They proceeded to join the efforts of English Quakers and in 1806 they successfully convinced Parliament to abolish the slave trade. Elizabeth Coltman Heyrick's (an English Quaker) tract Immediate, Not Gradual Abolition published in 1824, helped transfer the ideas of British antislavery across the Atlantic. Inspired, William Lloyd Garrison took her idea and added his own of not compensating slave owners. He also supported full rights of citizenship for slaves and that they be allowed to remain in the country.

Pieces of literature can be influenced by a wide variety of different factors that they experience everyday, whether the author intended on it or not. One fundamental factor that can influence a writer is their culture, in history it is especially visible. Culture can be defined as the customs, art, beliefs, and behavior of a group of people. Culture can indirectly influence an author or poet or it could be used deliberately in order for the writer to better express their views on a topic. One author that took advantage of his culture, in a possible attempt to bring more recognition to it, at every opportunity he had was John Greenleaf Whittier. Whittier was raised by a Quaker family in Massachusetts during the 1800s, which were part of a pivotal moment in history. Whittier’s works typically included subjects and areas close to his home, his experiences, and both his political and social/religious beliefs. Whittier was an outspoken abolitionist, just like many other Quakers during the time, and he became best known for his anti-slavery poems. One such poem that sticks out as being heavily influenced by his culture is The Hunters of Men, which can be found in the Norton Anthology of American Literature Volume B on page 609-610. When reading the work of Whittier his culture can be seen in three different ways the first is the culture itself, the second is where the culture fits into society, and how his culture impacts the ethics of this essay.

Being the son to John Whittier and Abigail Hussey Whittier, two devoted Quakers1, he grew up at their countryside homestead given little formal schooling due to the lack of economic stability as their farm was not very profitable.
