As a free man, Whitman studied and worked at Wilberforce University and became an African Methodist Episcopal pastor; his poetry helped to fund Wilberforce's endowment. The romantic epic Twasinta's Seminoles recounts the dispossession of the Floridian Seminole tribe, formed in the 18th century by Creek refugees and runaway slaves. They fiercely resisted the United States government's attempt to relocate them to Oklahoma after the passage of the 1830 Indian Removal Act. 30 years and two wars later, 300 or so Seminole remained in Florida, Told in the grand manner of Edmund Spenser, in a long Poem in stanzas this saga of Florida. So this Slave narrative has all the bells and whistles, a saga of Florida, a tale of the Native Seminoles and a saga of a freed slave joining into the dream of a free America. Wonderful poetry, and much drama with marvelous ideals.…
