Longfellow's famous poem The Slave's Dream was the strongest criticism on slavery then prevalent in America. By bringing to forelight the plight of a captured African negro who was a King there and his remembrances of his beloved native land and dear family, H.W.Longfellow moved the American minds against the tyranny that was slavery, brought to American soil by Great Britain. This poem was one of the greatest and earliest criticisms on the evils of the then American society.

Why did Henry Longfellow translate The Divine Comedy?
Longfellow translated the text because he wanted assist Dante in remaining a prominent poet, along with the Fireside poets, they translated the texts because, I believe Longfellow, found a copy of La Divina Comedia while he was in Rome and was so fascinated by it, that he brought a copy back and began to translate it for the American public, despite severe criticism from other writes and prominent figures such as Harvard and its president who viewed the text as too Catholic for the dominantly protestant region, claiming that God would not damn anyone to a specific region and punishment for comitting a single sin. Longfellow, Fields, Holmes, and Lowell were all approached in different ways to try and convince them to quit the translation and so they could keep their positions in both society and their respective fields.
