Chapter 12&13 Summarys-BTC

On pages 167-174, Equiano starts to publish an anti-slavery book which helped the campaign across the world even more. After getting married, Equiano was so caught up in selling his books that his wife became second on his list of priorities. His book focused mainly on his own experiences with slavery which captivated his argument perfectly. Equiano’s book became a bestseller and really helps readers become familiar with the life of a slave and the impact of slavery on all aspects of society.

On pages 192-198, the sugar boycott began and was gaining popularity all over. The boycott was so influential that if people did use sugar, it was not slave-grown sugar. Sugar was the right product to boycott because of its widespread use in England. Clarkson also published the Abstract which just contained hundreds of descriptions of the conditions of slavery and what many slaves endured on their journeys within the Slave Trade that was read by many.
