Both poets are talking about the slave trade and people being brought from Africa to America. Phyllis Wheatley came to America, supposedly as a companion, on a ship called the Susannah. In the states, she was taught to read and write.

He believed people can be better redeemed through education and that teachers of philosophy were better instructors of morality than the church.
