Almost unanimous was the request that I ascend the ancient throne
of the black men, even the First Born themselves concurring in it;
but I would have none of it.

Word:

acquiesced

Question:

What factors may have contributed to the unanimous request for someone to ascend the ancient throne of the black men, and why did the person refuse it?

Answer (optional):

The factors that may have contributed to the unanimous request for someone to ascend the ancient throne of the black men are not explicitly mentioned in the passage. However, it is possible that the people saw the person as a strong leader, capable of uniting their race and ensuring peace, since even the First Born concurred. The person refused the offer because their heart could never be with the race that had heaped indignities upon their princess and son.
