He hope would soon put an end to my miseries
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.
When Equiano was 11 years old, he was kidnapped along with his sister and sold into slavery. He was separated from his sister and endured a harrowing journey across the Atlantic Ocean on a slave ship. Equiano was eventually sold to a Royal Navy officer, which marked the beginning of his journey through various masters and experiences as a slave.
Equiano gained his freedom by purchasing it from his master. Once free, he became an advocate for the abolition of the slave trade, published his autobiography, "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano," and became involved in the British abolitionist movement.
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 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.
Equiano finally finds out what is going to happen to him when he overhears a conversation between his fellow captives and a sailor on board the slave ship who reveals that they are being taken to the West Indies to be sold as slaves.
He thought the Europeans were cannibals and were going to eat him.
Olaudah Equiano's sister's name was unknown. She is not mentioned by name in Equiano's autobiography.

Olaudah Equiano was the first slave to write an autobiography. He bought his freedom and ended up living in Britain a free man. When he was first taken from his home, Equiano was filled with terror because he had no idea what would befall him as a slave, or even where he would end up.
