Greece’s Roman Road

Hearing Stanley's words, the room was quiet for a while, no matter who, after learning that he did something bad, as long as he didn't lose his conscience, he would easily feel guilty.

The sudden intrusion of Europeans broke the peaceful life of the local indigenous people for thousands of years.

"Mr. Stanley, you don't have to be so passive, this is probably the price you have to pay for civilization!" Constantine comforted.

"The price that must be paid to go to civilization?" Nina and Stanley were a little puzzled when they heard Constantine's words.

"It is recorded in the Bible that God created the ancestors of mankind, Adam and Eve. He built a paradise for them in a place called Eden. The garden was filled with wonderful flowers and fruits, and all kinds of trees grew there. The ground was sprinkled with gold, pearls and onyx. A rich river flowed through the garden and nourished the land. By the gift of God, the estate was full of grain and fruit," said Constantine.

Nina and Stanley listened attentively to Constantine's narration. There is nothing unusual about this story. As long as most Christians know this story, there must be more to it.

"Eve and Adam lived happily in the manor, enjoying all kinds of harvests in the garden, wandering freely, unfettered, and never knowing what troubles were. Until one day, the two people who were tempted ate the forbidden fruit in the garden and were offended. God, and was driven out of the Garden of Eden." The two listened to Constantine's words, contacted the situation of the African natives before, and fell into contemplation.

"Since then, they have entered Paradise Lost. People have to work to get food for their stomachs. They work hard, only for food to live on. They can't be liberated until they enter the ground." Constantine said.

"Maybe this is the price that must be paid for entering civilization. The beginning of civilization was a disaster that violated human nature. Countless people have fantasized about having such a paradise without sweating their backs and working **** the land. If you work in the middle, you can get any food, you can travel at ease, and you won't have troubles." Constantine himself felt deeply touched by this.

"Perhaps now is the time for the people of southern Africa to enter Paradise Lost. Of course, these are biblical stories and don't have to be taken too seriously. And we are far from the snake that lured Africans into eating the forbidden fruit (Ave Shadang) lured by snakes), you know where the Portuguese started the slave trade in the 16th century, where the local chiefs fought with Portuguese muskets and used captives to trade goods with the Portuguese,” Constantine said.

"What's more, there is no paradise there. Before the Portuguese came, their tribes were not fighting for hegemony, such as the Kingdom of Congo, the Kingdom of Kuba (all feudal regimes established by the indigenous people of the Congo River in Africa), etc., so We don't have to burden ourselves with such a heavy moral burden," Constantine seemed to console himself.

"Besides, the notorious slave trade is now rarely engaged by the Portuguese, but the Arabs are rampant," Constantine said.

Indeed, when it comes to the slave trade, people first think of the evil European colonists who sold black people to the plantations in the Americas as laborers for the sake of profit. Those slave owners in the Americas brutally oppressed and abused their slaves.

Indeed, this is a historical fact, but it is only a partial fact.

In the **** and evil interest chain of the slave trade, which is monstrous and violates human relations, which manor and slave owners in the Americas are the downstream of this interest chain.

European colonists were responsible for buying black slaves, then transporting them to the Americas and sending them to slave owners, playing an intermediary role in this chain of interests.

So who is playing the upstream role in this chain of interests?

That is, who personally captured black people, looted black villages, slaughtered black people who dared to resist, turned black women and children into slaves, and then sold them to European colonists as intermediaries?

Isn't this a louse on a bald head, an obvious thing? Not the slaves captured by the European colonists.

It is true that some of them were captured by the European colonists themselves, but only a small part of them. Most of the black people who were trafficked were actually bought from others! !

The upper reaches of the chain of interests, that is, those who personally arrest slaves and sell them, and those who play this role are not only the European colonizers themselves.

In the early days of the Portuguese era of great voyages, some people once caught slaves, but it was only a small amount, for a very short period of time.

Although the Portuguese is a colonial power, its national strength has not been strong. He mainly relies on trade to make money, unlike the Netherlands, Britain, and France, which are not only powerful in trade but also in industry.

Portugal's strength has always been weak and its population is sparse. Therefore, the Portuguese are unable to capture a large number of slaves in Africa.

The Portuguese national strength is weak, so they are more inclined to obtain slaves through trade, such as muskets, glass **** or some other European goods.

During the main period of the slave trade, European slaves were purchased from the Arab kingdoms or Bantu kingdoms on the coast of Africa, rather than the Europeans themselves.

Most of the slave providers are forgotten by the world!

They are Arabs.

Until the end of the nineteenth century, European colonists only set up strongholds on both sides of the coast of Africa or some navigable rivers to facilitate trade.

Their control over Africa is far from being as strong as the colonial map of Africa shows, and even a large part of the territory is only assigned to a certain European politician on the map of Europe. Countries, but the overlord countries may not have actually controlled most of the colonies from beginning to end, they just dispatched officials to manage certain key areas, such as mining areas, and some areas suitable for growing commercial crops.

In other words, Europeans are incapable of going deep into the African interior, capturing black people on a large scale and selling them as slaves.

After all, there is no railway in Africa, and the world has not invented airplanes and automobiles, which makes Europeans powerless to arrest black slaves on a large scale.

In addition, the white people in Europe are not suitable for the climate of Africa. At that time, there were no effective drugs for many diseases. For example, the invention of artemisinin to treat malaria happened after World War II. Cinchona was used to treat malaria before. The bark has serious side effects.

Everyone knows that European whites, in the era of monstrous colonialism, carried out evil black slave trade operations, and African blacks were captured in large numbers all over the world to serve as lowly laborers.

But few people have paid attention to the 1,000-year-old, enduring slave trade history of the Arabs.

And the Arab world in the Middle East has never reflected on its own history of slave trade.

This is different from the European Caucasian.

Until the 21st century, the black Africa south of the Sahara Desert and the white Africa north of the desert have no relationship.

Because the Arab countries are deaf and dumb about their history of engaging in mass trafficking of blacks.

The Arabs in the Middle East are the first organized and large-scale African slave trade in human history. The history of slave trade is far earlier than the Western slave trade.
