I think you got the right idea. I'd add this - it was unlawful because of the fear in men's hearts & a drive to control what they feared. It's unsafe because reading what's on the paper will confirm what's in the heart - equality....(Answered by gayla.jean)

what is the author's comment on the human condition? (Read the poem) Thank u? Make me a grave where'er you will, In a lowly plain, or a lofty hill; Make it among earth's humblest graves, But not in a land where men are slaves. I could not rest if around my grave I heard the steps of a trembling slave; His shadow above my silent tomb Would make it a place of fearful gloom. I could not rest if I heard the tread Of a coffle gang to the shambles led, And the mother's shriek of wild despair Rise like a curse on the trembling air. I could not sleep if I saw the lash Drinking her blood at each fearful gash, And I saw her babes ... (Asked by Mastermind)

Read the first stanza carefully. The poet says that he does not care whether his grave site is "lowly" (low) or "lofty" (high, elite). He does not mind being "among the humblest." So, he is explaining what is NOT important to him. Can you tell what that is? Then he adds that the one place he can't stand is "a land where men are slaves." That is the one thing that is most important to him. What would you call this value? Throughout the poem, he's contrasting what's not important -- being lowly or lofty, proud or humble -- to ...(Answered by llemma)

The speaker is talking about his burial and where he wants to rest for eternity and he/she states that being buried near slaves would be horrible. The main point of the poem is to explore slavery and the negative attributes of it and how people were treated and what really happened. for instance it talk sabout daughters being torn from their mothers breast and sold, families were often split up and sold to different owners for different purposes, imagine how that would feel? Basically the speaker does not want to lay with these people because they cannot be at rest ...(Answered by kristen c)
