According to Azurara, the crowd came to Lagos to witness the division of the captives because they had never seen such a sight before. Some wept at the pitiful sight while others tried to assist in the division, all of which added to the general confusion.

<h3>What was the excerpt about?</h3>

The question was drawn from the chapter 25 of The Chronicle of the Discovery and Conquest of Guinea where Gomes Eannes de Azurara describes the division of the captives which occurred in the city of Lagos on August 8, 1450.

He says that a large crowd gathered from the city and the surrounding countryside to watch this division. The crowd came because such a spectacle was entirely new to them and they had never seen such an assortment of people

In conclusion, the crowd came to Lagos to witness the division of the captives because they had never seen such a sight before. Some wept at the pitiful sight while others tried to assist in the division, all of which added to the general confusion.
