, 15:56, September 2, 2008→The term was invented by an historian more than 100 years later. - Clueless.
::::This is me addressing your main point: - the fact that the label was created years later is irrelevant to your argument, such as it is. Historians often create labels for things years, decades and centuries after they happen. In all likelihood, nobody called the Barbarian invasions "the Barbarian invasions" (historians now use the term "migrations," anyways...) as they were happening. And I have addressed your other "main point" - that Africa was too poor to participate in a "triangular" mode of trade - above. [[User:AliceBG|AliceBG]] 11:38, 2 September 2008 (EDT)
