Smeathman's Unique Perspective on Slavery

The page could be better improved by adding more primary documents written by Henry Smeathman. He had a unique exposure to slave traders and the local natives. Due to this duality of belonging, I think that it would be beneficial to include more information on this man's travel accounts. Furthermore, Smeathman was sponsored by abolitionists, which contributes to his development on the idea of slavery. More information would help the reader develop their understanding of Smeathman's take on abolition (or rather lack of) and his impact on the development of the slave system and indentured system.
