The purpose of this petition was to position itself in favor of the end of slavery in the country.
To reinforce this objective, the author presented the following premises:
- Blacks were human beings, created by God, who gave freedom to all human beings, regardless of their region and appearance.
- The US was a country created with freedom as its main base, so it is contradictory that this country allows slavery.
- Blacks were unjustly torn from their homes and families in Africa by England, which was an oppressive country which all Americans fought against.
Thus, the author of the petition showed that several elements reinforced the idea that slavery was something criminal, anti-American, anti-Christian and that made America equal England in tyranny.
