'Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
Taught my benighted soul to understand

Remember, Christians, Negros, black as Cain,
May be refined, and join the' angelic train.
Consider the way that the institution of slavery is used by any one author. Using direct evidence from the readings, please discuss how the author engages with slavery. Is slavery justified in the work you consider? Is it vilified? How so? Do they even consider the institution at all, or does the author respond to it differently. Does the author's opinion about race and racial difference play in their representation?
