@Ps1ko85 Where it happened is not really important at this point, we do know that in happened and we owe it to the sacred memory and to the human dignity of those who were captured, chained and sold like mere objects to remember them and their plight. Ameen : )

@Ps1ko85 Goree makes no difference really, wether it was there or not ...the fact remains SLAVERY still was practiced in the immediate area....and it was an atrocity.

@Ps1ko85 Believe me they were not illiterates loading people on to ships...they kept very meticulous records of their ''cargo" just like any other cargo going across the Atlantic, maybe the enslaved humans didn't have a passport or ID card but hoe many were onboard was registered, remember this was all business. And that is what makes it evn more henious, they were so morally devoid and the people they traded were completely dehumanized and stripped of their identity and dignity.

@Ps1ko85 The place is not practical for holding thousands of people to be transported, there was not even a source of fresh drinking water...and the only place suitable for a large vessel would've been where the jetty is today and at most it can hold one or two. The cold and harsh reality is that that it was not seen as a crime by anyone, wetehr African or European, it was widely and socially acceptable, it was a lucrative industry.

@NativeNewYorkGuy Excuse the typos.

@NativeNewYorkGuy I can understand that they doubt it because when you think about it. What happened there might not been written. It's due to the fact that they population couldn't read or write and I don't think that I would give them records of the trades and crimes committed there. I know I wouldn't do that. Historians doubt is and I don't think they will ever come up with a proof. Until then, could you give it the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise?

@Ps1ko85 Let me clarify that I am NOT negating the history of slavery in West Africa, that did happen.
The slaved trade in Senegal was centered in the city of Saint-Louis and no doubt were taken down to Dakar and unto the Atlantic...For all practical reason Goree couldn't have been the place it claims to be and most historians doubt its authenticity. Please look it up.

@NativeNewYorkGuy I see your problem now. Your problem is the annoyance of the islanders, asking for money and not being very nice. I can agree with you on that, not to say that it happened to me but that's people. Some are good and some are bad. I wished you had a better experience there. Next time I go, may be you'll tag along. As far as the history, I can't agree with you.
