Explain the HIPP of the primary source below. “On Being Brought from Africa to America” “‘Twas mercy brought me from my pagan land Taught my benighted soul to understand That there’s a God, that there’s a savior, too; Once I redemption neither sought nor knew. Some view our sable race with scornful eye, ‘Their color is a diabolic lie.’ Remember, Christians, Negroes black as Cain May be refined and join the angelic train.” (1766, Phillis Wheatley)

HIPP-
Historical context
Intended Audience
Author's Purpose
Author's Point of View

"H" stands for Historical context. John Rolf was an important component in the foundation and success of the Jamestown, Virginia colony, in the North American territory. In the letter, he explains the Governor of the colony, Thomas Dale, his reasons to marry Pocahontas, a Native American Indian woman.

"I" stands for the Intended audience. The Governor of Jamestown, Virginia colony, Thomas Dale. The intention of John Rolfe was to clearly explain his motives, trying to maintain his intact reputation before the people of Jamestown.

"P" stands for Purpose. Rolfe wanted the approval of the Governor, knowing that in those years, Native American Indians were considered savages that first needed to be converted to the Christian religion to be accepted in the colonial society.

"P" stands for Point of view. In this part, we have to understand the point the author is trying to convey. In this case, John Rolfe, an English man, and an important figure that brought the toc¿bacco seed from the Caribbean Islands to grow tobacco crops in Jamestown and made tobacco the king of crops in Virginia wanted to justify his actions but not wanted to compromise his position before the Jamestown society.
