Part of the Arab slave trade, I believe.
And who was casting the nets that kept on capturing people all the way into the 20th century?
One would imagine Arabs themselves wouldn't want to "get their hands dirty", would have the middleman ships full of slaves arrive at their ports and then have the auctions begin.
this should explain it
I haven't seen that in ages. I'm glad it still exists.
I had to Google it to see if Let Me Google That For You still existed. I wish someone would have googled it for me...
The problem with this is that it assumes google still finds relevant results
it also assumes that one person’s results on Google are the same as another’s. Sadly with the enshittification of the internet, we can’t take it for granted anymore.
