Response to Olaudah Equiano

African Slave trade was horrible, the Africans were captured and taken from their homeland to be crammed into a ships hull. 10-25% of these poor people died on the way to the ships destination from diseases from the lack or fresh air and all the bodily waste. the slave traders themselves were brutish and malevolent, they flogged a man so brutally they killed him. Equiano stated that the stench of the Hull was sickening, he couldn't eat because it was so bad and he said the air itself "was hazardous to your health".
