Really Late Post

The article was really interesting in the sense that it conveyed some new facts that are generally unknown about the slave trade. For example, before this year the fact that Portugal was a main catalyst in the Atlantic Slave Trade was new to me. Also how Pirates were associated with the African Slave Trade was also pretty interesting. One big thing that was entirely new to me was how many Africans were literate and how Christianity and in some cases was already present amidst groups of them.
