[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Son of Ra: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [qb] "Contrary to a widely held assumption, black slavery in Morocco is a modern phenomenon (or ancien regime), not a Medieval one. Blacks from the Western Sudan were first imported in great numbers during the Saadian dynasty (16th century) to be employed in the sugar industry. This industry collapsed when cheaper sugar from Brazil flooded the European market. The heyday of slavery in Morocco came later, in the 17th-18th century." That is also something some of us like to ignore as well. Most of the blacks brought to North Africa slaves came after the 15th century. The black people in North Africa were not slaves but Berbers of the 5 great tribes and the Arabians of Sulaym-Hilal or Mudar (of northern Arabian) stock. [/qb][/QUOTE]Dana. This thread may interest you. http://historum.com/middle-eastern-african-history/59751-myth-trans-saharan-slave-trade.html The poster jehosafats knows his stuff. [/qb][/QUOTE]Lol! I was on that forum a few days with Jehosafats and found out we agreed on a lot of things and had so much information. I told him that in fact - that he knows what he is talking about. But due to the fact I was on there giving a lot of facts on the Moors - before I got kicked off, that is - the forum nearly closed down (i heard) as so many people had come on line at the same time (probably lots of Euronuts) finding out about the debate I was having there and saying the things I was. I had gone on actually because of Jehosafats and was offering my support with lots of extra facts. Too bad the forum moderators were so sensitive though and blocked me for talking back to one of their prized no-nothing customers. ;) It was from him I learned about the fact that some scholars believe the so called Zanj or black rebellion was actually an Arab one - true Arab in fact.
