How does Fuller combat this comment? Why do men feel as if it would be biased to support the rights of women? What do men believe will happen at the meeting polls?

The Fireside Poets The fireside poets (also called the “schoolroom” or “household” poets) were the first group of American poets to rival British poets in popularity in either country. Today their verse may seem more Victorian in sensibility than romantic, perhaps overly sentimental or moralizing in tone, but as a group they are notable for their scholarship, political sensibilities, and the resilience of their lines and themes. (Most schoolchildren can recite a line or two from "Paul Revere’s Ride" or The Song of Hiawatha.)Paul Revere’s RideThe Song of Hiawatha
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowHenry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Greenleaf Whittier,Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Russell Lowell, and William Cullen Bryant are the poets most commonly grouped together under this heading. In general, these poets preferred conventional forms over experimentation, and this attention to rhyme and strict metrical cadences made their work popular for memorization and recitation in classrooms and homes. They are most remembered for their longer narrative poems (Longfellow’s Evangeline and Hiawatha, Whittier’s Snow-bound) that frequently used American legends and scenes of American home life and contemporary politics (as in Holmes’s "Old Ironsides" and Lowell’s anti-slavery poems) as their subject matter.John Greenleaf WhittierOliver Wendell HolmesJames Russell LowellWilliam Cullen Bryant EvangelineOld Ironsidesanti-slavery poems
