Read the excerpt from the poem 'The Slave Ship' by Castro Alves: 'It was a nightmarish dream... the deck / That reddens the glow of the lanterns, / Bathing in blood. The clanking of iron... the cracking of whips... / Legions of men as black as night, / Horridly dancing...'. Considering the historical context of the poem and the language used by the author, what is the main feeling the poet seeks to convey by describing this scene?
