[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] Jehosfats claims: [b]Neither was the Zanj revolt a slave revolt. One observant modern commentator puts it this way: "All the talk about slaves rising against the wretched conditions of work in the salt marshes of Basra is a figment of the imagination and has no support in the sources. [...] The vast majority of the rebels were Arabs of the? Persian Gulf supported by? free East Africans who had made their? homes in the region [...] If more proof is needed that it was not a slave revolt, it is to be found in the fact that it had a highly organized army and navy which vigorously resisted the whole weight of the central government for almost fifteen years." (M. A. Shaban, 'Regional Economic Conflicts': 101) [/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
