S. states his admiration for Pocahontas. He contrasts her with her native people, the "fierce Indian lads," whom he likens to barbarians. Through this poem, the author portrays his negative views on indigenous people in America, which he considers to be uncivilized, describing scornfully their "scalp-lock display," "war-yell," and "war-paint." These things are said to make Pocahontas "shudder and tremble," apparently bothered by the culture of her people.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1915 Description An account of the resource This poem contrasts the longings of two Mexican men. The first, "born into Gayety Hall," feels out of place during a visit to Mexico and wishes to be back home in busy Manhattan. The second, born in Mexico, is in the setting that the first dreams of, yet wishes to be back home. Mexico is painted attractively as a place "where there's nothing on earth to annoy you" and linked to religion, whereas Manhattan is described as materialistic and bothersome in comparison. Despite their origins as Mexican men, the two men's races are not talked about; their longings are geographical, establishing an importance of setting over ancestry in ethnic connection.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1957 Description An account of the resource This "Old Piedmont Negro dialect" poem was written by a white male student masquerading as a black storyteller. Its title refers to the fictional central character, Nias, an enslaved black man who is characterized as an unintelligent, unhygenic, yet hard-working giant. The writer uses racial slurs to describe him as well. Nias notably attracts many black women wherever he goes, who fight over being able to sleep with him due to his size. He later performs manual labor for the Confederate Army, ultimately dying to save a white man's life.
