Note how those for the slave trade did their utmost to argue that this brutality would continue if the slave trade were abolished that is extremely important

All the sources bellow are in the order in which I showed them in the video. If anyone has any questions just ask

Bellow quote from an article RACE AND RACISM IN THE WORKS OF DAVID HUME by Eric Morton

"The far greater part of the wars, in Africa, would cease, if the Europeans would cease to tempt them, by offering goods (guns) for slaves. The intercourse of the Europeans has assimilated them more to our manners: but I am afraid has rather had a bad than a good influence on their morals ... they are generally worse in their conduct in proportion to their acquaintance with us."

Dahomey and the slave trade by Robin Law

According to Norris: "That the wars which have always existed in Africa, have no connexion with the slave trade, is evident from the universality of the practice of it between communities in a savage state. The oldest writers, as Leo, and others, have represented the Africans as living in a continual state of war and rapine, long before the commerce with Europeans was introduced among them"

Dahomey and the Dahomans Two Missions to the King Dahomey and Residence at his capital in the years 1849 and 1850
By Frederick Edwyn Forbes

"I had been often a day or two journeying into various parts of the interior of Africa, and had seen the state of the slave trade in its advanced systematic stage, and had considered the horrors of that division of it disgusting enough. I have visited bara- coons, and seen men so fearfully attenuated, from want and over-exercise in the march to the coast, as to render nature unable to support the frame. I have seen the hold of a slave ship, and the horrors consequent on diseases arising from the crowded state and want of wholesome food to alleviate the cravings of hunger and thirst. I have seen the slave toiling in South America, and known that the labour of these was a matter of calculation to the master, whether, by continual toil and short life, he would gain more money than by light work and protracted miserable existence. But what are all these to the tragic scenes that introduce the slaves to slavery ? A country living in peace with all around, and pursuing trade in the endeavour to become rich, is suddenly surrounded by a ruthless banditti; and how changed the scene ! The old would be rejected if brought to market, they are sacrificed ; the whole nation are transported, exterminated, their name to be forgotten, except in the annual festival of their conquerors, when sycophants call the names of vanquished countries to the remembrance of the victors.

This state of society will last as long as the slave trade exists. The question that should be asked is: Is it in the power of this country to stop it ? I will not confine myself to opinions, but relate facts"

"we notified your Highness that nowadays the natives no longer occupy themselves with the search for gold, but rather make war on each other in order to furnish slaves. . . The Gold Coast has changed into a complete Slave Coast"
