The most important source was a description from The interesting narrative of the life of Olaudah Equiano (envelope 5), because this man was a slave and he explained how people were sold. After arriving in Barbados, they were examined and pent up together, so the buyers could choose those slaves they liked best.

As you read throughout all the sources, the interviews on people who own slaves, lie. Envelope 3, Thomas Clarkson interviewed a sailor who worked on a slave ship, and he described what the slaves did. The slaves complained for water, and how it is hot, and that they were all chained together. Then in envelope 4 Robert Norris said the slaves have a "sufficient life" on the ship. They work 18 hours everyday he said, and thinks africans are less skilled than whites.

They would find black people in africa and capture them and turned them into slaves for farms. Slaves were having a depressing time, and the slave owner thought that they have a good time working in the farms. However many were not staying in put, they would have to go across the ocean to be traded for money.

The most important source for me is envelope 4 (Argument of Slavery), which states the things people says to defend slave trade. A captain of a slave ship said that slaves has many room, air, and food on the slave ship. But actually on envelope 3 (Slave Conditions) it stated that the slaves were fainting and dying of water on the slave ship.

I think that the most important piece of information that both Thomas Clarkson and I have found out was about the truth behind the slave trade travelling through the middle passage. In 1788, Robert Norris, captain of a slave ship described the ship conditions as the best time of the slaves lives. But according to the PBS, slaves from Africa to England actually had a nightmarish sea travel with very few space, food and water.

- In my opinion, I think the most important event with Thomas Clarkson was when he met author and former slave, Olaudah
Equiano. When Olaudah was a slave, he wrote in his book that he had worked on a ship and could almost always hear the screams of women and the groans of the dying. I think meeting this independent free slave impacted Thomas Clarkson greatly because it made him realize that slaves have identities and lives and weren't just empty souls who were branded and shipped along the middle passage to work for those who were superior.

The most important source I were informations from Olaudah Equiano's Autobiography. I found out about the conditions of transport of slaves. An especially hard passage was the Middle Passage. in his autobiography, he describes the conditions of the slaves, talking about "the shrieks of the women", the "groans of the dying", and how people who managed to drown themselves were envied. I also learned from an interview with a sailor that slaves barely had enough space to move. An example is "The Brooks", a slave-ship which was built to carry maximum 451 but carried over 600 slaves from Africa to the Americas.

The most important source in my opinion is source 3 (Interviewing Sailor) because it shows detailed facts and every detail of the construction. It proves that source 4(Slave Owner) is wrong by telling us that the hopeless people on the ship in some conditions died, chained hand and feet. They were all compressed in a small room.

I think the most important source was (envelope 2) Odula Equiano who was sold to become a slave. Taking a boat from Africa then arriving to the english colony in Virginia. Michael Henry Pascal who own Equiano for 7 years till in 1766 Eqiano bought his freedom. Then in 1773 taking part in an expedition, trying to discover the Northwest Passage. Going back to England becoming the artic abolitionist. By the time it was 1789 he wrote his widely-read autobiography.

The most important source for me was when I met with a sailor aboard a slave ship. He told me that they tried their best to help the slaves aboard "in [their] power", but slaves still struggled. He also told me that slaves got heatroke, fainted, and were often dehydrated, and this inspired me to not only write "Essay on the Slave Trade" in the year 1789, but to also publish the diagram of Brookes, aka the slave ship that the slaves were forced to ride. Brookes was intended to carry 451 slaves, but I learned that the British were trying to save time and space by forcing over 600 slaves onboard with little space and flexibility.
