The Arab Slave Trade 18:53 - Sep 12 with 479 viewsJACKMANANDBOY

My niece, bright as a button, is doing some work for GCSE History on the Slave Trade. I've just had a quick call with her after I spoke to her last week about putting data into context. I gave the simple framework Who, Why, When, What, Where and How to establish a baseline to work with.

She has come up with a load of stuff that I had not come across, stuff that anyone can find. Examples include.

The size of the Africa to Arab lands slave trade was similar to that of the Atlantic slave trade.
Britain spent 50 years after slavery was abolished, deploying around 16 percent of the Royal Navy to prevent the transportation of slaves, losing tens of thousands of sailors in the process.
It is estimated that there are today more slaves in the World than at any time in history.

There's loads more.

I've agreed to validate and list all her sources and reference material!

Te number of people brought into the UK illegally to literally be tithed slaves is scary, the government can't put a number on it.

We have so many criminal enterproses dressed up as Turkish barbers, restaurants and car washes before we go near the illegall brothels an the sex slaves forced to work in them.

O don't know how maky slaves were on these islands back in the day but there are probably thousands here today. Maybe tens of thousands.

They are aware, it just doesn't fit into their political agenda.

With regards to the comment about there being more slaves now, out of interest how do the numbers look as a percentage against the estimated world population back in the day and now?
