The West African Trans-Atlantic slave trade seems to be the only version that is taught or even discussed. However, the East African slave trade, conducted by the Muslims lasted much longer, and saw more human beings sold into slavery than any other location in history beginning in the late 8th century. It has been estimated that during this period at least 18 million Africans were captured and sold by the Arab Muslims who dominated north and east Africa, and the practice still exists in the shadows today.

ReplyDeleteComanche slavers. After the Spaniards and the French settled parts of the American continent, they began to trade with native Americans. The Comanche were the main beneficiaries of this trade. The obtained horses and then firearms. They expanded their influence in the central part of the country and began selling/trading slaves they captured during their raids on other indigenous tribes. This lucrative business continued until they were finally decimated by the western expansion and the government's assault on the bison. Like other tribes the infections from smallpox and other diseases brought by the white man decimated their numbers. But for almost two centuries they were the Indian version of the Mafia.
