Equiano wrote this during Parliament's debate on the slave trade. If Parliament had ended Britain's role in the slave trade in 1789,would that have solved the problems Equiano discusses in the Narrative? The Docudrama "Amazing Grace" was about just that

Had Britain's role in the slave trade ended in 1789, the problems Equiano addressed wouldn't have been solved immediately, but the work that needed to be done would have been accelerated. Slave Trade in Britain didn't end for almost tens years after Equiano's death in 1807. Slavery wouldn't be abolished in Britain until 1833. Amazing Grace depicts the works of William Wilberforce within Parliament, and which also had a huge impact on ending slavery.
