Question

The thousands the poet mentions in stanza V most likely refers to

Answer 1

The thousands the poet mentions in stanza V most likely refers to:

• The slaves who died during the journeys

Who were the thousands referred to in the poem?

The thousands that the poet most likely refers to are the slaves who could not make it to America and other countries where they were to be captive. The poem is "An Address to Miss Phillis Wheatley" which was written by  Jupiter Hammon.

Since Wheatley was among the slaves captured, then we can say that the thousands referred to the many who died during the journeys. The poet wants those who are alive to be appreciative.
