Walt Whitman was a poet during the 1800's, who later in America's modern
times became popular for his unique style of poetry. Whitman thought
that poetry should be spoken in the "language of ordinary men." His use
of the vernacular and vocabulary was unusual and unique for poets of his
time period. His poems were most often times about nature and humanity.
His poems also helped shed light on America's issues as it began to
grow as a country. Sadly Walt Whitman wasn't given full credit for his
unique and influential style of writing until after he had passed away.
In Walt Whitman's poetry he addressed the topic of "America" in several ways. He believed that women and men were both all equal, and you can see in his writing how felt that America should give people the same opportunities to succeed in life no matter who they were or are. This was very uncommon for a man of the 1800s to think, even if they believed slavery should be abolished most believed that women should run the house and the men should go out and get a job and that only men could vote, but Walt Whitman doesn't believe that he believes that every person should be equal no matter race or gender. His poems helped shed the light on America's problems as it began to grow as a country.
