Phillis Wheatley was born in West Africa and was kidnapped and sold into slavery at a young age. She was purchased by the Wheatley family in Boston, who recognized her intelligence and artistic talent. They provided her with an education, allowing her to read and write in English and study classical literature. While she experienced a relatively privileged life compared to many enslaved individuals, she remained a slave and faced the societal limitations and prejudices of her time.
