Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I don't think any person would have liked being taken as a slave!. However with Olaudah becoming a slave, he did become respected and a powerful figure in later life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Olaudah Equiano felt the morality wrongness of the treatment of slaves and openely spoke so even when he was a slave!.

What I don't understand is how can you ask a question about how did a person feel about being a slave, when obviously you know what it is like to be a slave!. Similarily Olaudah knew about this, he detested slavery and at the very least would try to help his fellow slaves!.

In being taken as a a slave when he was kidnapped by his own people!. You would know, it would be horrible, to be betrayed by your own kin into an environment where it was harsh!. If you know this, then his feelings and thoughts are more than obvious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
