Cugoano believes that slavery needs to be abolished in the colonies.
Explanation: he calls slavery “brutish barbarity” and “unparalleled injustice” and laments that it continues in the colonies despite past efforts “done and written against it,” which supports the inference that he wants it ended there. The excerpt doesn’t suggest slavery could be non-cruel (A) or that only more writers (D) or merely more speaking out (C) are the solution.
