Equiano's Thought about the slavery:

Equiano became a powerful abolitionist. He taught against the brutality of British slave proprietors.

He talked out against the English slave deal.

He fought to resettle liberated slaves.

Equiano's primary voice against slavery is commercial.

He debates that the cruel practice of slaves is not in the much interest of their masters.

John Newton’s thought about the slavery:

Newton became an ally of William Wilberforce, director of the Parliamentary battle to drop the African slave deal.

He existed to see the British passage of the Slave Trade Act 1807, which authorized this event.

He finally survived to make himself assigned onto a slave ship and chose to try and make his destiny off the coast of Guinea dealing slaves.
