The slave Phillis
Wheatley literally wrote her way to freedom when, in 1773, she became the first
person of African descent to publish a book of poems in the English language. Wheatley
was for a time the most famous black woman in the West. Though Benjamin
Franklin received her and George Washington thanked her for poems she dedicated
to him, Thomas Jefferson refused to acknowledge her gifts. Henry Louis
Gates, Jr., explores the pivotal roles that Wheatley and Jefferson have played
in shaping the black literary tradition. He brings to life the characters and
debates that fermented around Wheatley in her day and illustrates the peculiar
history that resulted in Thomas Jefferson's being lauded as a father of the
black freedom struggle and Phillis Wheatley's vilification as something of an
Uncle Tom. It is a story told with all the lyricism and critical skill that
have placed Gates at the forefront of American letters.

The Half-Way Covenant was created to provide a solution to the ever growing problem of how to regulate political participation and rights in a society that was based firmly on religion.
Explanation:
The New England Congregationalists in the 17th century, also known as the Puritans, had very strict rules regarding requirements for partaking in political positions and roles. One of the basic premises was that each citizen was accepted as long as they gave evidence of a “conversion experience”. This spiritual testimony was not questioned at first but as time passed and new generations grew up with different opinions on God, religion and society then the church had to be more flexible and adjust to this new mindset without forgetting God or the importance of the church as an institution.
This “Half-Way Covenent” reflected this new flexibility and adjustment, letting children of baptized but unconverted church members to be baptized and now have political rights and also become members of the church.
