RACE OF VETERANS by WALT WHITMAN

Poet Analysis

First Line: RACE OF VETERANS - RACE OF VICTORS!
Last Line: RACE OF PASSION AND THE STORM.
Subject(s): AMERICAN CIVIL WAR; U.S. - HISTORY;
Race of veterans -- race of victors!
Race of the soil, ready for conflict -- race of the conquering march!
(No more credulity's race, abiding-temper'd race,)
Race henceforth owning no law but the law of itself,
Race of passion and the storm.
