You know nothing of history, Fool.The Greeks enslaved people whom they considered barbarians, and both Christians and Muslims in the Middle Ages enslaved people whom they regarded as infidels. People in Africa became enslaved in a variety of ways. In regions dominated by powerful kingdoms, enslavement came about primarily through wars or raids. The captives would normally be sold to African slave merchants, who took them far enough from their homeland that they couldn't easily return. The major exception was the slave trade across the Sahara to urban centers along the Mediterranean coast Early European attempts to acquire African captives—by raiding coastal villages in West Africa in the 1400s or sending armed forces into the interior of Angola in the 1500s—ultimately failed because of fierce African resistance. As a result, Europeans began to purchase captives from African kings, chiefs and slave merchants, paying for them with trade goods such as cloth, iron, beads, muskets and gunpowder. European trading companies such as the Dutch West India Company or the British Royal Africa Company established forts and trading posts along the coast in the 1600s and waited for African slave merchants to bring them captives for sale. https://www.wsj.com/articles/an-ancient-practice-transformed-by-the-arrival-of-europeans-11568993153?mod=rsswn&page=1&pos=8 |
