BLACK SOCIAL HISTORY: IMAGES OF AFRICAN HOLOCAUST THE SLAVE TRADE OF BLACK AFRICAN BY ARAB AND EUROPEAN SLAVE TRADERS:

The Arabs have been trading Africans long before the middle ages, and their trade through North Africa and across the Sahara Desert to the West, Central and East Africa for Black Slaves went on for centuries, the main differences between the Arab trade is the fact that their slaves was wanted for domestic work in their cities, for the royal families, merchants and rich families in the Arab world, They did not have plantations for heavy labour like their European counter parts  who seem to have wanted strong Black Slaves for the heavy labour in the plantation  fields of the New World and the West Indies.





















Also the Black African Slaves could climb up the wealth ladder to become wealth Sheikhs, Sultans and Rich Merchants which did not happen in the European Slave Trade World. Also when the Europeans established their Trading Forts in the west coast of Africa, the slave trade across the Desert to North Africa by the Arabs died out as the Chiefs wanted European goods rather than Arab goods. Some of the Images will show the Americas Slave Trade and Arab Slave Trade.
