• W2603182410 abstract "IntroductionAfter mid fifteenth century, transatlantic commerce linked Africa, Americas and Europe in an economic relationship for more than four centuries. Primarily, it involved export of human beings from Africa and importation by societies in that continent of a variety of European goods. The historical writings have given rise to a series of controversies over several issues associated with transatlantic slave trade, particularly critical issue of relationship between trade and African development. Over last four decades, there has been a profusion of scholarly studies on transatlantic slave trade and related issue of slavery in Africa with several tomes devoted to demise of both. In this essay we shall attempt to examine place of slave trading and slavery in southern British within context of political, economic and social developments engendered by transatlantic slave trade. The essay is therefore both historical and historiographical in character.There are several important references to participation of societies in southern British in both transatlantic trade as well as slavery in area. There has been little effort, however, to explore interrelationship or causal relationship between two. This essay suggests that transatlantic slave trade was but one factor in development of traffic in enslaved persons and a system of enslavement in various parts of southern British from middle of eighteenth century until early twentieth century. As a consequence, there is a need to pay greater attention to internal organization and affairs of numerous polities rather than simply focusing on impact of British abolition effort after 1807.We will first attempt to deal briefly with pertinent issues in debate over transatlantic slave trade and slavery in Africa in order that ensuing account on may be meaningful. We will then introduce southern British in terms of its geographical description as well as its historiographical connection to transatlantic slave trade. Finally, and most importantly, we will present some data on slave trade of hinterland of British and presence of a domestic slave system in region. During this section of paper, we will provide some explanation for development of both Atlantic trade and internal slave system. The essay is based largely on use of secondary sources for first two sections and on primary sources (British documents) for remainder.Between 1916 and 1961, Britain administered area under discussion here as though it formed an integral part of their colony of Nigeria. The area - variously known as Province, Southern Cameroons and Cameroon - is coterminous with presentday North West and South West Provinces of Cameroon. Lying between four and seven degrees latitude north of equator, and eight and eleven degrees east longitude, southern British was just under 250 miles from north to south, and nowhere more than 100 miles wide. The physical features of territory varied in terms of climate, rainfall, temperature and vegetation cover. Some of its principal geographical features are important coastal region, including Rio del Rey, Isuwu territory and mountainous territory located immediately behind coast, dominated by Mount Cameroon. Further inland, regions of Kumba and Mamfe lie in rain forest, and their climate is characteristic of West African rain-forest belt. The rain forest gives way to Bamenda Grassfields, a healthy plateau region mainly around 3,000 feet high. The peoples of Bamenda Grassfields were, with exception of Bali, of Tikar extraction and had little in common (ethnographically speaking) with forest and coastal dwellers.1As late as mid 1950s, Britain asserted, with reference to southern British Cameroons, that the history of territory before beginning of nineteenth century cannot be recorded with any accuracy. …" @default.
