A very little known book with a surprising revelation.
Slave owners justified their actions by saying that black
Africans were savages, vastly inferior to whites and
little better than animals.
Here we have a slaver, of all people, who while engaged
in his terrible but profitable business visits a community
of black African people well before colonization by
Europeans (beginning of the 19th century) and after
describing how they lived, writes that they could teach
contemporary Europeans a lot about honesty, morals,
humane ways.
Seek in the text the chapter XIV about the Bagers and
learn from the least sympathetic source the truth about
that horribly wrong institution and the kind of people
it enslaved and described as being little more than animals.
I can only seed for a short time, please continue seeding
to keep it alive. Thanks.
