 John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)
Specific to understanding Whittier as an abolitionist, it would be good to point out that the first abolition society was founded by Quakers (a few words about Woolman and about the Quaker beliefs that led so many of them to labor against slavery--inward light, reverence for all souls, etc.).
It might be fruitful to ask that they compare Whittier's topical/protest poetry to the work of a poet like Dickinson --asking that they bracket for the moment questions of which they prefer to read and why, in order to focus instead on the different relationship established between poet and audience.
At stake would be the quality of the students' analyses of their own creative processes, not so much the instructor's or class's opinion of the poem's effectiveness (though such reader response might form part of the "material" the students would consider as they analyzed and evaluated the task of composing this kind of poetry).
