Olaudah Equiano (later also known as Gustavus Vassa) was eleven years of age when he was kidnapped in the African country that is now known as Nigeria . As he was taken to the slave ship on the coast, he witnessed the corrupting influences of European intrusions upon the African societies. Sent to Barbados and then to Virginia , he escaped a sentence to plantation slavery when he was purchased by a British captain who changed the youth's name to Gustavus Vassa and placed him in service aboard ship. Equiano spent the next ten years of his captivity on several vessels engaged in commerce and sometimes in naval warfare. After his daily slave duties, the industrious and thrifty Equiano worked at various private enterprises that eventually enabled him to save enough funds to purchase himself out of bondage. On 10 July 1766, he became a freeman , but continued working aboard ships. In the ensuing years, Equiano traveled to many countries in Europe, the Middle East, the

Equiano, Olaudah From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Okuma Shigenobu) Next (Old Farmer's Almanac) Olaudah Equiano c .1745 – March 31, 1797), also known as Gustavus Vassa, was an eighteenth-century merchant seaman and writer of African descent who lived in Britain's American colonies and in Britain. Equiano is primarily remembered today for his autobiography, entitled The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, which, with its detailed descriptions of the hardships of slavery and the culture of Nigerian Africa, became an international bestseller and helped to inspire the abolitionist movement. In addition to being a leading influence in the abolition of slavery, Equiano is also a notable figure in Pan-African literature, as his Interesting Narrative is believed to have influenced a number of later authors of slave narratives, including Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington . Although the historical and biographical accuracy of the Interesting Narrative has recently come into dispute, Equiano is nonetheless a major figure both in the politics and literature of the Middle Passage.

They had been [Page 46] implanted in me with great care, and made an impression on my mind, which time could not erase, and which all the adversity and variety of fortune I have since experienced served only to rivet and record; for, whether the love of one's country be real or imaginary, or a lesson of reason, or an instinct of nature, I still look back with pleasure on the first scenes of my life, though that pleasure has been for the most part mingled with sorrow. I have already acquainted the reader with the time and place of my birth. My father, besides many slaves, had a numerous family, of which seven lived to grow up, including myself and a sister, who was the only daughter. As I was the youngest of the sons, I became, of course, the greatest favourite with my mother, and was always with her; and she used to take particular pains

His owner's sisters taught him to read and write. After being sold several more times and being transported around Europe and the Americas, he eventually managed to buy his freedom in 1766 and returned to England the next year. He traveled widely before becoming involved in abolitionism. He was a major (and possibly the only honorable) figure in the disastrous Sierra Leone resettlement scheme of 1786.

HistoryTour.net Olaudah Equiano prince to slave, freeman to abolitionist by Rit Nosotro First Published:: 2003 A slave who bought his freedom and worked to abolish the slave trade. After being kidnapped, Equiano and his sister were taken many miles to the coast of Africa, where they were sold to slavers and put on separate ships. Olaudah was roughly handled and had convinced himself that he was in a world of bad spirits who wanted to kill him. In fact, he was so frightened that he passed out on the ship. He was then transported to the hold where there were many other male slaves, shackled and waiting for whatever would happen on the journey. After they landed in England, Captain Pascal had left the ship to visit friends. One morning, while the captain was gone, it snowed and the snow covered the deck. Gustavas walked on deck, saw the snow and thought it was salt! He ran to the first mate and asked him what it was. The mate told him it was snow and asked Gustavas if he had ever seen snow. When Gustavas said no, he told him that God had created the snow. Having never heard of this God who lived in the heavens, Gustavas was puzzled so the mate took him to church. There he learned about God, which later influenced him to become a Christian. A few years after purchasing his freedom, Gustavas moved back to England, where he again saw Lieutenant Pascal. After many times pleading for his prize money from serving in the navy, he finaly gave up because he knew that Pascal would never relent. While in England, he was introduced once again to Jesus, and made up his mind that he wanted to be a Christian. So he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior.
