Why did it take Equiano so many months to travel from his home village to the Atlantic coast?
Grace [21]

Answer: D. because he was sold as a slave several times along the way.

Olaudah Equiano was a writer and abolitionist from the Igbo region of Nigeria (although his birthplace is sometimes disputed). He was enslaved as a child and taken to the Caribbean. He earned his freedom in 1766 and moved to London, where he became an activist in the anti-slave movement. He published his autobiography <em>"The Interesting Narrative of Life of Olaudah Equiano"</em> in 1789, which helped pass the British Slave Trade Act of 1807. This act abolished the African slave trade.
