Very few slaves of that time were treated as kindly as Equiano and throughout his years of enslavement he continually got passed from one kind master to another kind master. Equiano ’s continued good fortune can be traced to two good fortunes. The first would be being too young to get sold saving him from the likely fate of becoming a west indies plantation slave.
