 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.

How did the invention of hydraulic mining allow for larger mining operations?
slega [8]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

In the word hydraulic, you can see hydr-, which is part of the prefix hydro, which means water. That is a great way to remember what hydraulic mining is.

Hydraulic mining is when you use jets of water with tons of pressure to break down rocks when mining. This allowed for larger mining operations because the water did most of the work; the only labor the people had to do was deal with the water. They didn't have to take days picking at the rocks searching for stuff. This hydraulic mining allowed them to expose more minerals quicker because it broke down rocks so quickly.

Have a wonderful day! :D
