"The eastern coast of Africa was in contact with Arab muslims for several years before a significant number of people converted to Islam. At the beginning, Muslim people were traders, and a small number of them established settlements on the shores of East Africa during the 9th and 10th century. These Arab people slowly disseminated the ideas of Islam into the interior of Africa.
The expansion of Islam affected the prosperity of various groups in this region. An example of this was the Kilwa Sultanate, which was established in the Swahili Coast by Ali ibn al-Hassan Shirazi. This sultanate achieved enormous wealth and success. Another example was the decline and abandonment of Great Zimbabwe due to the rising popularity of Arab kingdoms in Northern areas. The rise of these Muslim kingdoms led to a decline of trade in southern African kingdoms."

Negro Fort was a fort built by the British in 1814, during the War of 1812, on the Apalachicola River, in a remote part of Spanish Florida. It is part of the Prospect Bluff Historic Sites, in the Apalachicola National Forest, Franklin County, Florida.
The fort was called Negro Fort only after the British left in 1815, its later residents and staff were primarily blacks (free Negroes or fugitive slaves), together with some Choctaws. There were a significant number of maroons already in the area before the fort was built[citation needed] and beginning in 1804 there was for several years a store (trading post) there. The blacks, having worked on plantations, knew how to plant and care for crops, and also to care for domesticated animals, mostly cattle.
