Jesus R. Silva Government 1301 P.15 Professor Clark Human Traffacking From the 17th century until the 19th century, almost twelve million Africans were brought to the New World against their will to perform back-breaking labor under terrible conditions. The British slave trade was eventually abolished in 1807 (although illegal slave trading would continue for decades after that) after years of debate, in which supporters of the trade claimed that it was not inhumane, that they were acting in the slaves’ benefit, etc. The rationalizations and defenses given for slavery and the slave trade were absurd and self-serving. Slavery was a truly barbaric, and those who think that they can control what another group of people eat, where they sleep,

He doth regulate all affairs, explaining the signs in detail, which ye may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord”. Islam and Christianity take a monotheistic (belief in one GOD) approach when it comes to religion. Muslims recognize Allah as the Creator and Christians recognize GOD as the Creator. Both religions believe that human beings have the ability (free will) to choose between good and evil. Another eye opener for me is that Muslims believe that Jesus Christ was born to the Virgin Mary and at the end of the world, Jesus Christ will come again.

Sub-Saharan Africa had much longer exposure to Islamic culture influences than to European cultural influences. Scholars and merchants learned to use the Arabic language to communicate with visiting North Africans and to read the Quran. Islamic beliefs and practices as well as Islamic legal and administrative systems were prominent in African trading cities on the southern edge of the Saharan and on the Swahili coast. During the three and a half centuries of contact between Europe and Africa before 1800, Africans yielded minimal territory to Europeans. Local African kings scrutinized the European trading posts that they permitted along the Gold and Slave Coasts and collected profitable rents and fees from these traders and merchants.
One man who argued that slavery was inefficient was Scottish philosopher Adam Smith. He argues that, “slavery was an economically inefficient form of labor (Collins 252).” The changing European economy, brought about by industrialization and urbanization, particularly in England, relentlessly transformed the terms of trade on the eastern and western African coasts throughout the nineteenth century. Europe started to trade for tropical products like animal hides, palm oil, cloves, and gum Arabic, rather than just

After permeating African society, Muslim merchants began capturing slaves and selling them to buyers in Arabia, where slaves were prized as status symbols. The Muslim slave trade operated throughout the Indian Ocean in order to reach Arabia and Southeast Asia. Lastly, change came to the Indian Ocean’s commerce when European’s became involved, beginning around 1500. The Portuguese, English, and Dutch vied for control of the spice trade in the Indian Ocean region. Eventually the Dutch monopolized the spice trade by capturing various nutmeg and clove producing islands and destroying regions that proved to be competition.
