Most of the time it wasn’t the slave traders who were catching the slaves, it was african kings who wanted money. They captured their countrymen and then gave them to the Portugese or British in exchange for guns. Then the Africans used guns against each other to capture other kingdom’s citizens for slaves. By the time this manipulation monstrosity was over, the slave traders could just reproduce the slaves they had even if the slave trade itself was banned. 3.4K views

There were trashy white blondes with big boobs, with a bucket of fried chicken and saying, “come on . boys. lets party! seriously, slavery is an african institution still practiced today, as indentured workers, child labourers in the coco plantations, child solders, Shaka Zulu was supposed to have own 1,000 slaves , hard to believe, as a north american, its hard to watch women work in the field or haul water while the men sit in the shade.
