      There is this Nigerian who makes videos called the Renaissance he does not except that chiefs were involved. Because he does not think some village chief had the wherewithal to fill a slave ship. He also cannot figure out how the chiefs sold anyone. According to his logic if I said i have just sold you o. Would you go along with it? You really have to listen not agree though with what dude is saying although he does not deal with Africa outside nigeria and biafra.

    Dynast you are doing a good job by promoting Africa. My English is bad it's not my mother tongue so I'm just trying here. When it comes slavery please don't generalize africans or African chiefs. Even there were tribes in Africa I don't think that they were fighting each other all the time. Besides history is written by the conquerors even African people read the history written by the dominant people. So it's not right to say that ALL chiefs or kings sold other Africans. Maybe some of them. Africans have never invited Europeans to Africa to take a bunch of slaved ready for them. I think history is more complicated than the one we've been taught. Wars happened to Europe but you'll never read that Europeans killed other Europeans. But it comes to Blacks it's easy to say about anything about us. And they had guns cannons. Africans didn't have the choice whatever they wanted to do.

    I'm aware of the attempt at quantifying the number of people imported/deported during the so called TransAtlantic Slave Trade . What appears to be poorly understood is that Afrikan people were taken into slavery also as well from East Afrika and Madagascar ( though the majority perhaps around 70 % came from the Western coast(s) of Afrika ) all the way out to the Melanesian Archipelago . Therefore any number quoted from any source is pure Guess - Stimation that's all it is . Finally the number of vessels fully loaded with ' Slave' Cargo lost at sea during this period isn't known either , and the Slave Trade covered damn near a half of a millennia , i.e. , a 1000 years !

      There are no pink people. It was only some western european trading nations that were responsible for the slave trade. Before the transatlantic slave trade most slaves in western europe came from slavic coubtriea like russia etc This trade went on from 500 to 1500 afrer the ottomans closed the trade in slaves with the west. Also the largest slave trading port for many times in middle ages was dublin, where celts and irish were sold in large masses, depopulating the region.

    Islam spread differently in West Africa than it did in East Africa. Islam was spread as part of Arab expansion and the Arab slave trade along the coast of East Africa. In West Africa, Islam spread from the North. Keep in mind that the Arabs defeated the Roman Christians that controlled North Africa. Also keep in mind, that most Arabs were of black and brown skin. The indigenous North Africans welcomed the Arab Muslims as liberators and worked with them to kick out the Roman Christians. Islam was seen as a liberating force and this is how Islam spread so quickly in North Africa to Spain. From North Africa, Islam spread via trade south to West Africa. There were some conflicts but Islam spread peacefully in West Africa. Proof of this is that all West African Kings remained on their thrones as their kingdoms accepted Islam. They were not overthrown by outside invaders. In fact West African armies were superior to Arab armies at the time. The Arabs could have chosen war, but they would have been defeated. This history is available thanks to Ancient West African historians and scholars who accounted these events when they occurred more than 1,000 years ago. However, they wrote in Wolof, Salinque, Mande, and other west African languages with Arabic script. The problem with this history is that African-Americans don’t speak or understand West African languages and cannot read or understand Arabic script. The curriculum at school system in West Africa are established by the French and the British who have no interest in presenting a honest account of history that may show Islam in a positive light. African students on the African continent, in turn, do not get a true interpretation of their own history. However, if you read the great scholars from Timbuktu and Soketo, these histories are there. Read Cheik Amadu Bamba. Read Uthman Donfodio. Good work though, Dynast. You are a true asset to your people.

      In Africa, the system of slavery was way different than how you are taught. Slavery is employment (either voluntary or involuntary)
