[QUOTE]Originally posted by markellion: [QB] Those stats you described were talking about the places where Europeans received the slaves. It does not tell us where these people originated. The unfortunate people would be marched for sometimes thousands of miles before reaching those destinations in West Africa "Wonders of the African World" by Henry Louis Gates On page 86 he mentions increased slave trading in Abyssinia than had existed before. This is because much of Africa was already connected by trade. With European manipulation waves of slaves starting flowing westward Bellow is page 84 [URL=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375709487/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0375402357&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0XEVZBZ3RT%20%20GH437AQ309]Amazon.com "Wonders of the African World"[/URL] [QUOTE]Gondar enjoyed a well-deserved reputation as a thriving urban center of politics, religion, and trade.

Kano had served as a center of the slave trade from long before this time, but served mostly north Africa. [b]The demand for slaves to fill the needs of European colonies in the New World, led Kano more deeply into the slave trade early in the seventeenth century. The Hausa themselves never dealt directly with European slavers. Rather, they would go on raiding expeditions to the south, then trade their captives to other peoples south and west of them, who would trade with Europeans on the coast.[/b][/QUOTE]William Pitt, The Younger. 1759-1806. 352.

[b]But as to the whole interior of that continent you are, by your own principles of commerce, as yet entirely shut out: Africa is known to you only in its skirts. Yet here you are able to infuse a poison that spreads its contagious effects from one end of it to the other, which penetrates to its very center, corrupting every part to which it reaches. You there subvert the whole order of nature; you aggravate every natural barbarity, and furnish to every man living on that continent motives for committing, under the name and pretext of commerce, acts of perpetual violence and perfidy[/b][/QUOTE]John Newton http://books.google.com/books?id=OjI3AAAAMAAJ&pg=PA245#v=onepage&q=&f=false [QUOTE] But I apprehend, that the neighborhood of our ships, and the desire of our goods, are motives which often push the rigor of the laws to an extreme, which would not be exacted, if they were left to themselves. But slaves are the staple article of the traffic; and though a considerable number may have been born near the sea, [b]I believe the bulk of them are brought from far. I have reason to think that some travel more than a thousand miles, before they reach the seacoast Whether there may be convicts amongst these likewise, or what proportion they may bear to those who are taken prisoners in war, it is impossible to know.[/b][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
