Original sin immigrants

This is the original sin, mainly manifested in: in the Atlantic triangle trade, slaves are only regarded as? Commodities?

There are four main export channels of African foreign slave trade: one is Du's famous trip to America, that is, the Atlantic slave trade route; The second is to cross the Sahara desert to reach the Maghreb, including Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritania, Libya and Algeria today (Maghreb is in Arabic? West? , which means it is the westernmost tip of the Arab world), and then from there to the eastern Mediterranean, this is the so-called Sahara slave trade; The third is from East Africa to Arabian Peninsula, Persian Gulf and even West India via the Red Sea; The fourth is to reach the eastern Mediterranean along the Nile Valley. Among these four channels, the most famous one is slave trade, which is related to the primitive accumulation of capitalism in early Europe and America. It is a symbol of colonialism and racism, and it is also the most cruel, destructive and far-reaching among the four major slave trade in Africa.

Slavery originated in the era of slavery and is also an important part of European and American history. Although slaves existed as early as ancient Egypt, the roots of anti-racial discrimination in the United States and Europe today refer to the slave trade in Africa and the slave trade in the Atlantic.

The Atlantic slave trade began in16th century and ended in19th century. With the development of European navigation technology in the15th century, new lands were discovered one after another, and countries eager for wealth and resources began to establish colonies along the coast of Africa and seize resources through conquest. The African kingdom had to trade with Europe, and African human resources became the main part of the resources, and the slave trade in the Atlantic began.

/kloc-In the 6th century, after Spain and Portugal, Britain and France also joined the ranks of seizing maritime hegemony. In order to enhance national strength, many countries planted and developed, and slaves became the best human resources at that time. In addition to expanding the production activities in African colonies, many slaves were employed in African production activities, and slave ship was also used to assist in the production and transportation of slaves to other regions.

Therefore, the beginning of modern racism is the original sin of the western slave trade.
