Hey bigtime9, the guy who claims that Africans did not sell slaves to Europeans and profit from the slave trade.

Here is an academic source for you, since you still refuse to admit your wrong.

Africans tended to live longer on the tropical plantations of the New World than did European laborers (who were susceptible to tropical diseases) and Native Americans (who were extremely susceptible to "Old World" diseases brought by the Europeans from Europe, Asia, and Africa). Also, enslaved men and women from Africa were inexpensive by European standards. Therefore, Africans became the major source, and eventually the only source, of New World plantation labor.

African sellers captured slaves and brought them to markets on the coast. At these markets European and American buyers paid for the slaves with commodities–including cloth, iron, firearms, liquor, and decorative items–that were useful to the sellers. Slave sellers were mostly male, and they used their increased wealth to enhance their prestige and connect themselves, through marriage, to other wealthy families in their realms.
The Africans who were enslaved were mostly prisoners of war or captives resulting from slave raids. As the demand for slaves grew, so did the practice of systematic slave raiding, which increased in scope and efficiency with the introduction of firearms to Africa in the 17th century. By the 18th century, most African slaves were acquired through slave raids, which penetrated farther and farther inland. Africans captured in raids were marched down well-worn paths, sometimes for several hundred miles, to markets on the coast."

 

I'm responding to most of your points but you just ignore the ones of mine you can't answer. Until start you reciprocating this is pointless.

 

You can't win, he'll just say its white historical bias....

Oh really? Show me a credible source which states the contrary position to what I just posted.

Actualy, I have opened up a thread in the lounge and invite you and bigtime9 to join. But line up with him, and your going to get torched on this subject.

Toopretty- its not one source. If you have attended college or even high school you surely learned that the injustices of the slave trade were perpetuated by both Europeans and Africans.

So tell me, does your grandmother tell you different?

 

And what this? Did I ever make any reference to this?

 

Oral histories.....:rofl
