    Jan Vansina’s exploration of this region of Africa proclaims that “there was no trade in people in the region before the Europeans.” Even Goody’s claim about the African legal system states that there was “no process that regularly generated people for sale in the coastal societies of Western Africa before the coming of the Europeans” supports this notion (Inikori 62). In addition, the word “slave” and meaning of the word “slave” coincides with the first engagement in slavery in the West African Region of the Kingdom of Kongo. Historical research indicates that the beginning of trading of slaves in this area originated from the Portuguese. The Portuguese said they “no longer wanted copper,” but wanted slaves instead.…

    Some points that both sources agree on is that the history of the Atlantic Slave Trade with Africa goes back 50 years prior to Columbus' initial voyage to the America. The Portuguese were searching for gold in Africa, and decades after that, Portuguese sailors gained permission from a local African leader to build a trading outpost and storehouse on Africa's Guinea coast. Africans were either captured in warring raids or kidnapped and taken to the port by African slave traders. There they were exchanged for iron, guns, gunpowder, mirrors, knives, cloth, and beads brought by boat from Europe. A slave's journey first starts in the interior of Africa with his or her capture as a prisoner of war or by outright kidnapping by local traders.…

    Jenny Martinez’s article on the Slave Trade Origins of Human Rights and International Human Rights Law was incredibly hard to read not for it being too dense nor overtly sophisticated but the material itself and topic at hand is one that deserves the utmost respect and sensitivity as it is undoubtedly the gravest violation of human rights to have ever occurred in the history of mankind, in my opinion and the subject itself took some time to contextualize and even rationalize. The descriptions of the horrid conditions and the mere fact that children were born on the ships, captured and sold as slaves is something that seems so far removed from todays standard of living and human achievement, that it requires deep contemplation of the extent of the human capacity of…
