, 15:32, September 2, 2008→The term was invented by an historian more than 100 years later. - Clueless.: still ignore the main point
::And you ignore basic economic history. Africa was by no means poor - it was rich in the resource that drove the Atlantic system - the labor of enslaved human beings. How else would the colonies have been able to grow the cotton and sugar? And you're evading the most important part of the argument towards the existence of "triangular" trade system - the fact that something had to be traded for that slave labor - often guns, but also other types of manufactured goods. Maybe you should read "Capitalism and Slavery" by Williams, or the introduction to "The Black Jacobins" by CLR James- or if you find those too difficult, the article on the slave trade in the Encyclopedia Britannica.

::: You still ignore the main point, which I've now repeated several times, and I'm not going to waste my time further on this discussion until you address it.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 11:32, 2 September 2008 (EDT)
