Answer:
B) They were free and allowed to return to Africa
Explanation:
On March 9, 1841, the Supreme Court ruled 7-1 to uphold the lower court's decision in favor of the African. They wrote that:
"There does not seem to us to be any ground for doubt, that these Negroes ought to be deemed free."
However, the court didn't order the government to provide funds for the return of Africans to their homeland. The new President at that time, John Tyler, refused to provide funds for them. The salvage rights for the ships were awarded to U.S Navy Officers who captured it. Due to such circumstance, the Africans had to raise money from scratch. In November 1841, 35 Africans saild from Newyork towards their homeland, aided by funds raised by United Missionary Society, which was a black group.
The first 8 lines make the poem sound like bad news, and the word "contagious" sets the mood for the poem. The pastoral tradition celebrates the beauty of the natural world and the simple pleasure of living in the countryside. However, the first 8 lines of the poem seem to claim the exact opposite, with words like "contagious" "surge" "cold", and "waste."
