Whitley 's poetry poses several important questions: What actions will be taken from Africa to the United States is God' s sympathy? If Africa is really a "pagan", why will the United States be a "Christian" that provides a "savior" to African slaves? If Whitley 's "stupid soul" could "teach" the Christian truth "to understand", this would not establish her equal human nature, and Africans would not be moral rationality Do you disagree with the idea that it is not? In short, do Americans truly believe in America? As you read this way, this poem is full of irony. It allows the reader to agree mostly to its premise so that they can conclude that they are not acting adequately. To agree with this poem means to make one person insert American principles - religion and politics - in an American way to reconcile Africans.
