I can't find a copy of the poem anywhere. It is really a satire of immigration that occurred in 1910. It is called "Providence in 2000 A.D." and is about Providence, Rhode Island.
He attacks mostly white immigration at the time and seems to hate all non-Yankees and Catholics.
He also really goes off on blacks though in another poem:
On the Creation of [the disliked term for blacks]
"When, long ago, the Gods created Earth,
In Jove's fair image Man was shap'd at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next design'd;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill this gap, and join the rest to man,
Th' Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Fill'd it with vice, and call'd the thing a N*IGGER. "
Obviously, he didn't espouse views that everyone on the board will completely love, especially because of his often anti-white immigration, and he was wrong because members of other ethnic groups proved to become great Americans.
But isn't it strange that he was quite the academic and his extreme views are downplayed now? Today, anyone who wrote these poems would be considered stupid and incapable of writing.Edited by: Freedom
