Read these stanzas from “The Chimney Sweeper.” What is the poet saying about the lives of the sweepers? Then naked and white, all their bags left behind, They rise upon clouds, and sport in the wind. And the Angel told Tom, if he'd be a good boy, He'd have God for his father and never want joy. And so Tom awoke; and we rose in the dark And got with our bags and our brushes to work. Though the morning was cold, Tom was happy and warm; So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm. Although the boys’ lives are short, they will be dead for a long time. Being poor is a part of God’s plan. No one deserves to be treated badly. If the boys are good in this life, they will be happy in the next.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
