 This is taken from THE GLEANER, article AFRICA'S ROLE IN SLAVERY.

<span>
</span>

<span>In the Arab world, which was the first to import large numbers of slaves from Africa, the slave traffic was cosmopolitan. Slaves of all types were sold in open bazaars. The Arabs played an important role as middlemen in the trans-atlantic slave trade, and research data suggest that between the 7th and the 19th centuries, they transported more than 14 million black slaves across the Sahara and the Red Sea, as many or more than were shipped to the Americas, depending on the estimates for the transatlantic slave trade.</span>

The inescapable fact that stuck in my craw was: My people had sold me ... . My own people had exterminated whole nations and torn families apart for a profit before the strangers got their chance at a cut. It was a sobering thought. It impressed upon me the universal nature of greed." And we might add, the universal nature of slavery.

African kings were willing to provide a steady flow of captives, who they said were criminals or prisoners of war doomed for execution. Many were not, but this did not prevent traders posing as philanthropists who were rescuing the Africans from death and offering them a better and more productive life.

When France and Britain outlawed slavery in their territories in the early 19th Century, African chiefs who had grown rich and powerful off the slave trade sent protest delegations to Paris and London. Britain abolished the slave trade and slavery itself against fierce opposition from West African and Arab traders.The slave trade<span>. </span>The African state that played a very active and profitable role<span> in the translantic slave was? The Kingdom on Dahomey.

What geologic process released large amounts of water vapor into Earth's early atmosphere?
RSB [31]

The correct option is D. Volcanic eruption  released large amounts of water vapor into Earth's early atmosphere.

Earth’s first atmosphere had lots of water vapor but it almost lacked oxygen. Eventually, frequent volcanic eruptions put several different gases into the air. These gases created a new type of atmosphere for Earth. The volcanic eruptions spewed gases such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and water vapor into the atmosphere, but no free oxygen. Without oxygen, there could not be life on Earth.
