Banneker talks about how bad slavery is and how bad Britain ruled the colonies and he compares and contrasts these two. To compare oppressing slavery and the tyrants who ruled Britain to one another was upon a great gesture and this is the main reason why Banneker’s argument was so strong against slavery. This comparison is similar to what a simile and a metaphor is but it just directly compares them and it strengthens his claim about slavery that much further than it would be without comparing and contrasting. Simply, the comparison that Banneker made was used to make the audience feel how bad slavery is and how extreme the situation is. The problem with slavery is very dire and that is how Banneker was able to convey
