Pascal takes Equiano with him to England, and Equiano later accompanies him as he goes to war. The planter sells Equiano to Captain Pascal, a member of the British Royal Navy. In Chapter 3, Equiano arrives in Barbados and is sold to a Virginia planter. In Chapter 2, Equiano recounts his capture, journey to the North American Atlantic coast, and the conditions he experiences during the journey across the Atlantic, known as the Middle Passage. In Chapter 1, Equiano describes his life in Essaka (located in modern-day Nigeria) prior to his kidnapping.
He begs them to ignore any defects in his work because of the righteousness of his cause, the abolition of slavery.
Equiano opens the volume with a letter to members of the British Parliament.
