Answer:
- Criticizing the American government.
Step-by-step explanation:
Olaudah Equiano was an abolitionist seeking freedom. In his 'onboard journey', he employs sensory details that appeal to our senses to convey the horrors of his journey on the slave ship by criticizing the American Government. He criticizes the system of slavery through his journey from Africa to the New World. He is critiquing America for its brutal systems like 'slavery' which he treated as 'horror' that separated the people from their mother countries to pursue this brutality that treats these slaves as mere animals without any sense of humanity.
