Question:
“The Negro’s Complaint”, by William Cowper, is a poem that was written with the intent to influence white slave owners. It focuses on abolitionist issues and was widely distributed in pamphlet form and reprinted in newspapers and magazines. The poem is written in first person narrative, even though it was written by Cowper, an unoppressed white male. How would this poem be different if it were from the perspective of an actual sufferer of the slave trade? Was it right morally of Cowper to write from a point of view that he had not, in all actuality, experienced for himself?
