Answer:

For individuals in Africa, Equiano's story is significant on the grounds that it is the stay of African examinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

For individuals in Africa, Equiano's story is significant on the grounds that it is the stay of African examinations. Students of history start with Equiano. Social researchers start with Equiano. Abstract craftsmen and artistic researchers start with Equiano.

In its presentation, Equiano states that the principle motivation behind the book is to "excite in [the reader's] august assemblies a sense of compassion of the miseries which the Slave-Trade has entailed on my unfortunate countrymen."
