Document Summary
Basil davidson africa without history: around one in seven of all the captives shipped to the americas were dead before the voyage was over. The british navy patrolled waters and released captives in freetown, a colony in sierra leone: although british patrol did not stop the slave trade, instead slaves were smuggled. 103 000 slaves had been rescued, while 1 795 000 were actually landed in the americas. The liberated victims admired britain for saving them, and slowly they banded together to form villages in. Freetown saw that freedom was a mercy to be used. Slowly, people found jobs, particularly in government and a bourgeoisie emerged. The saro and their colleagues thought they knew what the british had in mind, and they approved it. I. e. do not trust the acknowledged african chiefs: question of who was going to win: the traditionalists or the modernizers. Africa: he accepted the need for modernization of structures in order for independence to be successful.
