→"It doesn't make sense because at the time Africa was not a significant market for finished goods."
Please reconsider your position...it is a complete reversion of what has been unquestioned non-ideological historical orthodoxy; and there is more evidence '''for''' very heavy Europe-Africa trade than you can poke a stick at. Ghana's Parliament actually sits in a castle built as a trading post. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 21:17, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

:It is unlikely that anything was being sold. These products would've been '''traded''' to Islamic tribes for slaves. As Islam moved out of the Middle East and into Africa they were enslaving the tribes they conquered. The conquered peoples were in turn the ones who ended up in the Caribbean. Much has been written about the fact that the Europeans used to simply wait at the shore and the slaves would be brought to them. There may have been some slave raids, but they would have been uncommon. [[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 14:18, 1 June 2019 (EDT)
