The first object which saluted my eyes when i arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor, and waiting for its cargo. these filled me with astonishment, which was soon converted into terror when i was carried on board. i was immediately handled and tossed up to see if i were sound by some of the crew; and i was now persuaded that i had gotten into a world of bad spirits, and that they were going to kill me. their complexions too differing so much from ours, their long hair, and the language they spoke, (which was very different from any i had ever heard) united to confirm me in this belief.

What were some of the differences Equiano observed between himself and the crew on the slave ship? That's the same question i'm pretty sure

d: their own individual powers within the new goverment

no

explanation:

not everyone in america is free. it is has always been a unequal society. and yet people come in swarms, in search of better lives. some are brought as children, unaware, unknowing. some arrive and just don’t leave. they build lives, pay taxes, raise families. some enter illegally, fleeing persecution in their home country.

there are many reasons why human beings are so attracted to america, despite its history of bitterness towards immigrants.

there are almost two million immigrants brought to the us when they were children. president donald trump and his collaborators are determined to rid the us of as many undocumented immigrants as they can, and stop others from coming because none of their ancestors were immigrants.

america has so many things and yet it lacks the one thing that humanity needs to fully thrive. and so this country will not be at peace in itself until it resolves the pain at the heart of slavery, attacking immigrants, and crumble the rights of those with less power.
