I'm also very puzzled by Aschafly's statement. My very clear impression is that guns and textiles from Europe (especially England) were important in the Triangular Trade. I don't understand why Aschafly objects to this quite well-known fact (I think it's a fact) - what has that to do with being conservative, one way or the other?

It was not just "guns and textiles"...horses were in demand too.
Someone's right and someone's wrong. Either ''An Account of the Slave Trade on the Coast of Africa''
By Alexander Falconbridge (a surgeon on board a slaver); and Rev. John Newton's accounts as a slave trader (published posthumously), both written in the eighteenth century are wrong...they both made it up or something and what they described on their ''trading'' voyages from England to Africa and then with slaves across the Atlantic and so on are figments of their imaginations.....or.....Andrew Schlafly knows something that no one else does.
Either the dozens of Trading forts described here: http://www.colonialvoyage.com/remainP.html and here: http://www.colonialvoyage.com/arguin.html and here: http://www.colonialvoyage.com/ghana.html don't really exist, or were built for some other reason than the protection of trade...or... Andy is wrong.
If Andy can give any evidence at all that there was not a booming trade from the late 15th century on between various European nations and the various native west African kingdoms then he should do so. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 19:52, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
