3 Poem Comparison With Sub Correct answers to quiz: Compare your quiz to the correct answers…. What questions do you have? What didn’t you understand? A C B D

Short Answer 11. Freneau writes the poem to encourage western migration by describing it as a place where “Nature’s wildest genius reigns” and where “mighty states” shall “successive grow.” He conveys the idea that in these new states mistakes made by civilians in the past can be corrected. OR His purpose points out the evil of slavery as practiced in the east. Lines 49- 54 refer to the regions that “raise our blush,” “Where still the African complains,/ And mourns his yet unbroken chains.”

Short Answer 12. Her first poem reflects the love of the abstract ideal of freedom, echoing the sentiments of many of the colonist around her. In the first stanza she writes, “Freedom’s charms unfold/…She shines supreme, while hated faction dies,” The second stanza and other lines in the poem refer to the need to abolish the tyranny of slavery, but she is circumspect in expressing that sentiment. Wheatley’s second poem echoes the sentiment commonly heard to justify the slave trade, which is that the Africans brought to America are better off than those left in the “pagan” land because their souls have been saved by the “good” Christians who rescued them.

Connection Activity Now that we have developed a better understanding of the 26 Grievances included in the Declaration of Independence, let’s take a look at the Bill of Rights and the 27 Amendments to the US Constitution. With a partner, you will work to determine how these two documents are related to one another, specifically how the 27 Amendments to the US Constitution were potentially influenced by actions and events connected to and/or described in the Declaration’s Grievances.

Connection (cont.) You will turn in one sheet for you and your partner together. This sheet should include each of the 27 Amendments, some of which will not have a connection and therefore will simply say, “Amendment #___ is not related to any of the grievances in any way.” Be careful with how often you use this.
