Very good piece but the wording of the below needs to change as it exonerates African people and African countries of their massive hand in slavery & the African slave trade (which existed before Europeans & Arabs touched African soil & became involved with African slaves) > Your ancestors dragged these black people from their homes by force; The reality is their ancestors were already enslaved by their fellow Africans and were bought at markets. As to whether the Atlantic slave trade drove demand to a much higher extent - I've read different views on the extent to which this contributed. Slavery was already massive in West Africa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa Feel free to recommend other resources, as long as it's not just propaganda.
