@MiracleAdeolu @Slymanabd_ @elonmusk That is the single MOST told aspect of this period of history. What you don’t hear is what I am telling you, because you clearly don’t know it

@Slymanabd_ @MiracleAdeolu @elonmusk Relax with the “you guys”, I don’t remember having contributed to any slave trade. But yes, actually, the British did abolish the slave trade directly or indirectly throughout the 1800’s.

Wrong. The trans-Saharan slave trade was long before Portuguese involvement, where war captives from conflicts between African societies were sold by other Africans to Arab merchants and Islamic caliphates who had expanded into West Africa. This being a good 5-600 years before the Portuguese got involved.
