An Introduction to the World and writing genre of Olaudah Equiano

Olaudah Equiano Olaudah Equiano was born in West Africa in 1745. He was kidnapped by another tribe in 1755. He was 11 years old. Olaudah was next sold to white slave traders who put him on a ship for the Americas. This was the first time he saw the ocean. After ten years of enslavement, he purchased his own freedom.

Abolitionism In Western Europe and the Americas, abolitionism was a historical movement to end the African and Indian slave trade and set slaves free. King Charles I of Spain passed a law which would have abolished colonial slavery as early as 1542, although this law was not passed in the largest colonial states, and so was not enforced and the Middle Passage continued. The Somersett's case in 1772, which emancipated 1 slave in England, helped launch the British movement to abolish slavery. Though anti-slavery sentiments were widespread by the late 18th century, the colonies and emerging nations that used slave labor continued to do so.

Olaudah Equiano, the author In 1789 at age 44, he wrote and published his strongly abolitionist autobiography: The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Or Gustavus Vassa, The African. Written by Himself One of the first works written in English by a former slave. The book became a bestseller and, as well as furthering the anti- slavery cause, made Equiano a wealthy man.
