"'My Nigerian great-grandfather sold slaves'"


  

          

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-53444752?fbclid=IwAR17nt7cqhr1mXNre8goejh2lUdXslw4srbia2oHYGB4Dmwg1-jvNydcK1g

Can we talk about this? How much do we know about the political climate in Western and Southern/ Central southern Africa from the 1500s till 1884?

Who controlled the currency?

Did religion play a factor.

What tactics to Eurasians use to "entice" various African groups to participate in the slave trade?

Can we sum this up as simply as Africans so you?
