Paul Laurence Dunbar was born in 1872, seven years after the proclamation of emancipation proclaimed by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 came into effect. In fact, his parents had been slaves in Kentucky before the secessionist war (1861-1865). Paul Laurence Dunbar became the first African-american poet to gain success and recognition by American society and media. He created a great legacy and became an influence for incoming black poets and artist, and was considered a big figure for other well-known abolitionist figures like Frederick Douglass.

Explanation:
A most people think the same thing
Both families hate each other, but R falls for J and vice versa. This causes R to kill T in revenge for M's death and he must leave to some shanty-town; T doesn't like R, vice versa, and despite R loving J and therefore wanting to love her family, he can't bring himself to forgive T for M's death and it might because of R's family hating J's family. J wants to find a way run away with R and decides to fake her death since her family cannot forgive R and R did commit a murder that should be paid with his own head. A letter is sent, but R doesn't get it since he decides to return after hearing of J's "death". He ends up fighting P who was to be J's husband and commits suicide. J wakes up and finds R dying and kills herself too so they can both be together forever. <span>The whole "I hate you" is the reason why they both died. They could of ran off together, but their families would track them down and blame the other which would probably lead to both of R's and J's deaths. Hatred leads to M's, T's, and P's death since M was hated for being friendly with R's family, T's death was in revenge and perhaps a subconscious hatred of J's family, and P's death came from P blaming R for for J's "death" and perhaps a hatred for R's family as well. Basically, this story is about stupid things screwing over stupid, but nice people.</span>
