“who could do justice to my feelings at this moment [of freedom]? not conquering heroes, themselves, in the midst of a triumph. not the tender mother who has just regained her long-lost infant, and presses it to her heart. not the weary hungry mariner, at the sight of the desired friendly port. not the lover, when he once more embraces his beloved . . after she had been [taken] from his arms! all within my breast was tumult, wildness, and delirium! my feet scarcely touched the ground, for they were winged with joy, and, like elijah, as he rose to heaven, they ‘were with lightning sped as i went on.’”

The sentence “not the conquering heroes, in the midst of a triumph” best states the main idea of this passage?

In this passage Olaudah Equiano asks a question that who could do justice to her feelings of  freedom when the heroes have won a war. She tells that she cannot ask the heroes of the war  who have just won or the motherland who has finally gained freedom.

She cannot even ask the  sailor who has not seen the port for a long time. She cannot ask her lover because she has  been separated from her lover. She was not feeling well and was in a confused state of mind.

world war i had a devastating effect on german-americans and their cultural heritage. up until that point   german-americans, as a group, had been spared much of the discrimination, abuse, rejection, collective mistrust experienced by so many different racial and ethnic groups in the history of the united states. indeed, over the years, they had been viewed as a well integrated and esteemed part of american society. all of this change with the outbreak of war.
