John Greenleaf Whittier
Voices “No poet of our times or of any times has accomplished more for Truth and Man than he…” (Foreman 489) John Greenleaf Whittier, American in taste and manner, appears as a man of good sense, general correctness, and contains a fair and commendable appreciation of morals and propriety. ... Voices of Freedom, a volume compiled of many poems, appears as Whittier’s most inciting works because it was written during the era of abolitionism and republican strong opinion (John Greenleaf Whittier 5). Whittier vowed to continue writing until the oppressor lets go his hold and the slaves are restored their rights.
