Olaudah Equiano did not participate in any known rebellions. He was a prominent African abolitionist who wrote about his experiences as a formerly enslaved person and advocated for the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade.
Olaudah Equiano was sold into slavery in the mid-18th century, around 1756, when he was approximately ten years old. He was taken from Nigeria and eventually brought to the Americas, where he endured the hardships of slavery before eventually purchasing his freedom.
Olaudah Equiano and John Barbot both wrote about the transatlantic slave trade, highlighting the inhumane treatment of enslaved people and the brutality of the trade. They both emphasized the need for abolition and the recognition of the rights and humanity of Africans.
Olaudah Equiano purchased his own freedom in 1766 by saving money from trading goods. He eventually earned enough to buy his freedom from his owner, Captain Pascal. After obtaining his freedom, Equiano became an active abolitionist and author, sharing his experiences as a former slave to advocate for the abolition of the slave trade.
Former slaves often described the treatment of slaves as brutal, dehumanizing, and unjust. They spoke of physical abuse, harsh working conditions, and the stripping of basic human rights and freedoms. Many recounted stories of suffering, oppression, and violence under the institution of slavery.
