Then what, pray tell, was being exchanged for slaves at forts such as Elmina and others of its ilk? [[User:AliceBG|AliceBG]] 19:40, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

Thank you Alice! I was beginning to think no one cared about this...
Andy...please see the CP articles on: [[Republic of the Congo]], [[Ghana]], [[Nigeria]], [[Angola]], and every other West African nation you can think of. They are all copied and pasted from (I assume) the CIA factbook site, and their History sections all mention the setting up of trading posts by European nations. Also, please check out:

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)
