Daniel Defoe: writer, journalist and writer of "Robinson Crusoe". Defoe was born around 1960 and passed away in 1731 during a period known as the Middle Ages in which Christianity had immense political and social control.
During these times, in Europe, they promoted a system of belief known as The Great Chain of Being that had the objective of connecting even the most simple elements and specifying an order or rank according to the connection with God, believed to be a spirit in all things.
God at the top of the list, believed to be outside of the physical realm, unaffected by time, and almighty.
Angels and demons were thought not to be bound by physical organs, but they were not as powerful as god, they didn't have the omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence of God.
Men shared a lot of characteristics with angels, but they were believed to be lower in the chain for being bound to a physical body.
Women were lower on the chain since it was thought their connection with God was worse and that they had come from the rib of a man, based on the Christian bible.

Explanation:
“The Indian Burying Ground” is a short lyric poem of forty lines celebrating the spirits of Native Americans haunting their sequestered graves in the North American wilderness. It is an early American example of the Romantic movement in Western literature. Although its elegiac subject matter harks back to the eighteenth century British school of “graveyard” poetry, Philip Freneau adds a Romantic twist to the sepulchral theme of human mortality. This writer displays a Gothic fascination with supernatural phenomena and moonlit scenes of fancy, a primitivistic attention to unspoiled natives and pristine nature, a nostalgia for a legendary past, and an interest in the spellbinding powers of the imagination (or “fancy”) as superior to the reason of the European Enlightenment. In lyric form and fanciful poetic theme, Freneau bears close comparison to William Collins in eighteenth century England.The poem opens with a primitivistic speaker in the guise of a common man challenging civilized burial customs, which betray what a culture thinks of the state of death. When civilized culture demands burying a corpse in a prone position, death is seen as an eternal sleep for the soul.
If readers consider not the European past but the antiquity of the New World, however, they contemplate America’s primordial race of Indians, whose sitting posture in their graves suggests that their souls actively continue the simple pursuits of their former mortal lives, as depicted on their pottery and as indicated by their weapons. For example, an Indian arrowhead, or “head of stone,” symbolizes the opposite of a European headstone—namely, the enduring vitality of the dead person’s spirit, unlike the cold, engraved memorial for a dead white man
