Equinano: giving V 2.0 of the truth

Is Equiano the greatest possibility of our time? I want to go into more depth about the final idea Equiano had regarding slave trade, as discussed in class, I understand he wanted, instead of people trading people it would be people trading the things people were forced to make. I wholeheartedly disagree with this idea. It would not solve the problem of slavery but make it different in a way that would eliminate chances of improvement. Europeans would keep it out of sight and thus out of mind also now since its not "slavery" there would be no moral objections to it, when it is in fact morally object. Now Africans would be stuck in this place with hardly a chance for change and in an only slightly better place than before. Another reason for my disagreement would be because Equiano, as his main point of argument uses economics and money to solve the problem, when the problem isn't monetary it's moral. Europeans should not ban slaves because it is economically smart, which would not change the views of Africans as inferior, but be persuaded to do so by showing how morally unacceptable it is. So is Equiano the greatest possibility of our time? No. Equiano's muddled version of the truth is written so intently for the English that I can't tell whether it's the truth or the exaggeration that I'm reading. Back then, however I understand this narrative made a big impact on the direction of the abolitionist movement, but reading it now to gain understanding of that time seems hard to do with so many clear untruths. Who has heard of Equiano anyway?
