Nigerian Slave Trade

What it is:

- African and European traders were at Nigeria from 1434-1807. - The Portuguese came first, followed by the Dutch, and then the English. - There was an emphasis on trade of Igbo slaves. - The Slave trade was abolished in 1807. - Igbo slaves revolted sometimes and tried going back to Africa.

It is important to Nigeria because:

- Igbos have written books about slavery experiences - Ex-slaves have bought freedom in Britain. - Igbos have left marks in places such as Haiti because they refused to be colonized by anyone.
