What Equiano would have said to Mun and Clive
Despite the advances in science, agriculture and political philosophy we have been studying, most people in Europe still lived at a subsistence level and many lived as slaves. Further, the acquisition of many colonies on other continents greatly expanded the the reliance of white Europeans on the the slave trade. The documents for this unit relate some of the high social cost of slavery. In an essay of 250-500 words, consider what Equiano would have said to Mun and Clive. Use examples from the documents and your textbook and, once you have posted your own essay, comment on two others.
