Walt Whitman wrote in a very bold and erotic style that was unusual for his time. His descriptive literature got him fired from his government job, and his prose was accused of violating Christian sensibilities. His classic "Leaves of Grass" was considered obscene for its open treatment of sexuality and homoerotic overtones.

What happened to the Whitmans and why?

The Whitmans, a missionary couple, were killed by members of the Cayuse tribe in 1847 in present-day Oregon. Their deaths were primarily a result of rising tensions between the settlers and Native Americans, exacerbated by the spread of diseases and competition over resources. The Whitmans had attempted to convert the Cayuse to Christianity and establish a mission, but their presence and the influx of settlers led to resentment. This culminated in the Cayuse War, where the tribe sought retribution for the perceived negative impact of the Whitmans and other settlers on their way of life.
