The poem is presented in three books and aims to illuminate the horrors and injustices faced by both enslaved Africans and the sailors involved in the trade. The likely topic of the book examines the moral and human costs of the slave trade, using vivid imagery and emotive language to convey the suffering of the oppressed. In this work, Stanfield recounts the harrowing experiences of sailors and captured individuals throughout their journeys. The narrative begins with the recruitment of sailors through deceitful means, illustrating the manipulation and exploitation they face. The voyage to Africa is depicted with foreboding, exploring the internal conflicts of the crew and the brutal treatment of the enslaved individuals. Personal stories, such as that of Russel, a victim of the trade, deepen the emotional impact, while the poem also addresses the effects of disease and cruelty on the hapless sailors. Ultimately, "The Guinea Voyage" serves as a poignant denunciation of the slave trade, urging readers to reflect on the perils of such inhuman practices and the pressing need for reform.
