He instilled the thought that the reason why the black race was in the state that they were in was because that the black man lost his manhood when he became a slave and was "feminized" by the white people. He said that the black man was not allowed to think for himself, act for himself, or do anything to express his god given right as a man therefore he lost his freedom.
Walker used many examples from his book in order to convey the message of the black masculine male to his readers. One that was most interesting was the way he used the story of Hannibal to instill a model of which they should strive to be like and follow.
"Yea further, when I view that mighty son of Africa, Hannibal, one of the greatest generals of antiquity, who defeated and cut off so many thousands of the white Romans or murderers, and who carried his victorious arms, to the very gate of Rome, and I give it as my candid opinion, that had Carthage been well united and had given him good support, he would have carried that cruel and barbarous city by storm. But they were dis-united, as the coloured people are now, in the United States of America, the reason our natural enemies are enabled to keep their feet on our throats" (Walker pg22) .
The following example showed how Walker used masculinity to inspire his people to regain their lost manhood and organize themselves in hopes of gaining their freedom. He used Hannibal as an example because Hannibal was a very powerful black man in history and he defined what it was to be masculine. He uses him because he was a good model of how the black men should be like and inspire them to take charge of the situation and injustice that was occurring at that time. Walker clearly uses Hannibal as a device to instill hope and realization that the black man was meant to be powerful and masculine, as opposed to being passive and feminine.
Walker's book was not so much about himself or his specific charge to black men except as an example of the intersection of race, gender, and language, especially in the 19th century, but more broadly in American society.
