The spread of religion was the justification for most European countries to imperialism and set up colonies in the Americas. Walter Raleigh, and Richard Hakluyt convinced Queen Elizabeth I to support the colonists, through the idea that the “New World’s inhabitants” were “crying out to come and help”, with the intention of converting the Indians to Christianity (52). Although, the intentions for conversion drove the imperialistic ambitions, they were not entirely successful. “The aim of converting Indians to Christianity foundered on Indian indifference to the religious disputes that wracked Europe and the unavoidable reality that churches transplanted to English america had their hands full providing religious services for European colonists” (56-57). Overall, imperialism and conquest of North America by Britain was influenced by religious conversion, that may not have been successful, but helped to drive

Emily Dickinson originally wrote “Safe in Their Alabaster Chambers” in the year of 1859, then later revised and published a second version, to reflect the criticism of her sister, in the year 1861. Dickinson was a rather religious person in her early years, and then in her later years became dissociated with her religion and was no longer a devout Christian. A main theme of the poem is Christianity, and the concept of resurrection or life after death in terms of the Christian faith. Another one of the poems themes revolves around the concept of death in Christianity and the poem used striking imagery in order for the reader to be able to perceive these themes.
