According to Walker, the slavery of the black was actually due to their wretchedness. Having traveled in many places, he discovered that US was denying the blacks some of the basic requirements such as the education and knowledge about the religion. People like Henry Clay were among the frontiers who contributed to the colonization of the blacks in the United States simply because he was campaigning for the removal of the blacks in the country.
Through the appeal, Walker actually calls for rebellion for the hardships that people undergo through. He appeals to the creator who is the God that how on earth there are different people who are superior than others and for what reason should such a thing happen having being created in the same way, (Hahn, 2009).
Despite the fact of the rebellion aspect, walker tries to look at some contributing points on what caused the issue of slavery. There are some of the qualities which contributed to the way African American was perceived and that contributed highly on what counted to the increase of the slavery. Walker was actually disappointed with the reactions and comments of the white clergymen in respect to the aspect of slaves.
To him, it was not justified to use bible to condemn slaves and provide directions on what should be done on to them. He played a major role in ensuring that the level of slavery had decreased simply because he even developed some re-colonizing plans for those who were not yet slaves. Despite that he was aggressively for the rebellion aspect, Walkers message was perceived wrongly by the whites especially those who were in the south which restricted the freedom of interactions among the slaves and free blacks, (Walker, 2008).
