Question

With his abolitionist writings, david walker employed both secular and religious language.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

This is a true statement. In his writings, Walker took the (for the time) radical view that the coloured person needed to be educated about the issues of the day, because only then could they scare their white, slaveholding oppressors. He also employed religious language, often employing Scriptural concepts as a way of urging his black brethren to action.
