Throughout the poem, Phillis Wheatley used the themes of religion and identity to develop the poem that being African or black does not imply that the person was a devil and not worthy of salvation.  She clamored for racial equality in America.

  • She clarified that skin color does not define who a person is.  In the poem, <em>"On Being Brought from Africa to America," </em>Wheatley established that there must be liberty and racial equality for all, including African Americans.

  • She expressed the hope that since God had had mercy on humankind (the white race, in particular), the Whites should be merciful enough to accept Blacks and allow them to gain salvation in Christ Jesus too.

  • She was particularly happy that her enslavement and <em>being brought to America</em> has opened the way of salvation in Christ Jesus for her.  This experience should not be obscured through unnecessary racism.

Thus, Phillis Wheatley produced a complex account in this poem by using the themes of her Christian religion and African identity to profusely interact with and build on one another.
