I also now first saw the use of the quadrant. I had often with astonishment seen the mariners make observations with it, and I could not think what it meant. They at last took notice of my surprise; and one of them, willing to increase it, as well as to gratify my curiosity, made me one day look through it. The clouds appeared to me to be land, which disappeared as they passed along. This heightened my wonder: and I was now more persuaded than ever that I was in another world, and that every thing about me was magic.

Olaudah had come from a primitive culture and was unaware of the tools modern sailors of the time were privy to. He was particularly amazed by the quadrant. When the sailors took note of his curiosity, they made him look through the device. To him, the clouds appeared to be land which disappeared, causing him to believe it was some sort of magic.

What Did Certain People Like William Wilberforce And Oluadah Equiano Do To Abolish Slavery?

Well Olaudah Equiano... |x..In 1789 Olaudah Equiano wrote the story of his life. This was widely read and turned many people against slavery. He travelled the country speaking at meetings and worked closely with other abolishionists like Granville Sharp. In fact it was Equiano who brought the case of slave ship Zong to the publics attention. He died in 1797. I hoped That Helped!!! I Cant Remember What Wilberforce Did!..x| ?...Umm yeah William Wilberforce spent many years trying to abolish the slavery he also presented loads of bills to the British Parliament but the final abolition didnt happen until a month after William death. I think the main reason it tok so long is because the slaves brung us sugar cotton and other stuff also they were cheap and effective houshold servants in the time of the 1800 and even before then!!!...Umm yeah hope this helps! x

How many people died using magic?

Uh...none of them? Magic does not exist. Some die because they are under the influence of a drug (see the Wikipedia article on religious use of hallucinogens - it's more common than you think), and some commit suicide because they believe they are "possessed" or something like that. However, none died from actual magic. Hope that works.
