- like_any_other 2y agoLeaving aside that there was (and is) plentiful local demand [1], you're arguing a strawman - the poster never claimed Europeans weren't the cause/driver of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Only that other's roles were omitted and falsely ascribed to Europeans. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa > See? It’s so omitted there’s a lengthy, well-sourced Wiki entry on it! Omitted from this study, as the parent poster was specifically talking about it, as would be clear to anyone not actively trying to misread my comment.
