In pairs,discuss anything new u learnt about slavery in Africa. Write down what surprised you.
Person 1: One thing I learned is that slavery in Africa was practiced before the arrival of Europeans, and that African societies also engaged in slave trading among themselves.
Person 2: That's interesting, I didn't know that. What surprised me was the fact that some African rulers and kingdoms actively participated in the slave trade and profited from it.
Person 1: Yeah, it's surprising to think about how deeply ingrained slavery was in African society, even before the transatlantic slave trade began.
Person 2: Definitely, it's a complex and often overlooked aspect of African history. I think it's important to understand the full scope of slavery in Africa in order to have a more comprehensive understanding of its effects on the continent.
