Answer:

Anger.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes's poem "Madam and the Rent Man" is an exchange between the rent collector and the tenant, Madam who refuses to pay for the services she hadn't received. This is a representation of how things remain unsolved, for the parties involved weren't able to see eye to eye.

With the use of the word "listen", the speaker is trying to get the attention of the other people. Then, she also mentions she'd rather "<em>go to Hades and rot away</em>", than pay, ending with an exclamation mark, obviously signifying the emphasis on the emotional stance of the speaker. This is also a representation of the normal situation of the blacks and the whites in their inability to solve their problems, especially with the whites refusing to listen to the blacks. Hughes uses this poem to show the real life situation, where the person complaining is talking sense, but it doesn't reach the right person for the problems to be solved.

Many of the southern colonies were founded as proprietary colonies what drew proprietors to this area how did they make money
Nookie1986 [14]

The Southern Colonies (now known as the states from Maryland, when included with the Chesapeake Colonies, down to Georgia) were founded as privately-owned areas of land that were solely economically influenced by cash crops, such as indigo and tobacco. This is thanks to the lush soil and warm, humid climate perfect for growing. Hope this helps :)
