the raids multiplied the one that became one of the crossroads at the original transatlantic slave trade in congo the relationship of equality between africans and portuguese collapsed so a lot of became from that on from 50 ninety's on became the most important single port the single place in africa from where africans left for the americas 23 percent something like that out of all africans a lot from. going heavily to brazil which of course is the biggest area where africans go in the americas by far almost half of all africans end up in brazil and lawanda was the was really an outpost of brazil many ways needed to meet up. down muscle devoutly they determined that a merchant should import $20000.00 slaves per year that these slaves became contractual objects they stopped bartering with if you did it then became something

highly speculative that he so figures then amounted to thousands of slaves were counted by lots and no more one by one and even the language changed they spoke of pieces please define the slave in terms of stature and age as calculations were made in terms of profitability. this is glove the this is more you have to use the expression slave production because within central african states and especially the congo kingdom in small states that had separated from middle because there wasn't a slave trade strictly speaking about a joy you. yup i do live to comment so the system and conditions that had to be created this music industry is on is not like that here it was people from the outside who fed antagonisms that might allow people let's say free people citizens to end up in the slavery networks today yeah this is over

best clearly not it is order to discover that. amidst all the traffic between the african coasts and brazil a slave ship ran aground off the coast of south tell me. the aguilar ish are the descendants of those castaways their ancestors found refuge on this beach for nearly 500 years the engelaar ish lived here far from the plantations and the portuguese poor and secluded but still free. they've made this story the bedrock of their identity and of their spirit of resistance. for a ship came from angola. with people on the board. until. the people started to swim to save themselves. and at the door of the swamp to

seles the beach going on to the ships daybreak. once they got to the beach they stayed there for a long time and. they eventually found it a family and had children. i think santa maze also a laboratory for a new forms of social relations and for a new society because you have a society mainly based on slave labor which has fast majority of the population in slaves and where social relations between in slave and masses will be very.

unsubtle me the jewel of the empire the sugar plantation system gradually began to crack the island was impossible to control. in the heart of the forest groups of fugitive slaves set up more kumble those places of sanctuary where they organize themselves into armed groups. the distance between lisbon and sound till may prove troublesome for the portuguese crown the kingdom of congo was reluctant to intervene in the island's affairs while the portuguese lacked armed men on the ground to defend their interests so to solve the problem they decided to manufacture them. live in paris as the city and i have thought if you see them in that one of the fundamental elements of the society as a laboratory was the creation of mestizos as they were called to us part of a concerted plan devised by the portuguese ranks corps near this the portuguese

such a cross for white men with black women now she created a mixed race population proper status for 2 years of the population where according to the texts of the time the white fathers would transfer portuguese values to their mixed race children meeting the law of 2 years this and yes the aim was to create a group within society who could defend white portuguese interests on south tom a video says do what i do for 2 years and something me. we often completely forget that interbreeding stemmed from violence very often these children were the product of rape of relations between master and slave. in a letter addressed to the king sound to maze administrator ben out of state gooda explained how he intended to use these mixed race children the empire's bastards. many settlers have children with their slaves and if your highness granted freedom

to if you them they would be allowed to live as free citizens. as they are no other free children they would remain free of the service of god and of your highness. crossing white men with black women and so to me the mixed race individuals fathered by portuguese men were a separate group called the sons of the land by defending the crowns interests they became crucial figures in the slave system. to be elected to. the few for the sons of the lab me had no secure position in the country and would therefore live off the straight network which brought them well that gave them authority like that of the portuguese invisibility lemmen qusay and

the but they too were children of the country and mrs markham was it is awful to be if. we mustn't see this just as a black and white issue that lot in the 16th century maybe later but not of that. it wasn't about race it was about the economy money for this club with my grandfather also had slaves they were black coming home slaves that they were slave flutters to. and they and it enslaves themselves. is it that i live this story it's in my blood i know. a lot of the poor is in the city. as demand mushroom and the sons of the land started kidnapping citizens of congo despite the religious diplomatic and cultural links between portugal and the kingdom. in a letter to his counterpart in portugal king of funds of the 1st told of his dismay and desperation.

i think was far more intelligent than alleged. when he's presented as a very christian king like he appears as some sort of a byproduct of fortune. but he tried to modernize the kingdom by integrating the resources that came from portugal. you'll. also. but he soon realized that his country was losing its sold. every year sentiments reenact this 1st merger between africa and europe to exercise its violence incarnate all the roles where appropriate costumes and dancing which victims and persecutors lived side by side the sons of one in the same family. the procession is called she. and said to originate from the word tragedy.

this is the slavery leads to societies that are constantly searching for themselves due to a lack of identity perhaps it's a vineyard love faith and memories of africa are so vague even for a subtle man's who live about 200 to 250 kilometers from the culture in the pooper or closer to the african coast on the antilles or re-union kids even here memory is a problem and that's what memories do i have of africa. and yet i'm black. if memory.

'd in 5095 tensions boiling over on salad tommy. and a daughter a slave born on the island headed an uprising one that the sons of the land were unable to contain millions factories and harvests were destroyed. the center main experiment had revealed its limits. but the union between african slaves and sugarcane had been consecrated the portuguese knew that they could export the

system everywhere one by one they disassembled the mills the ovens and the sugar factories and rebuild them in brazil. the key which changes the direction of the slave trade is the transfer show the as you mentioned earlier from one side of the atlantic to the other. and then makes the hop to the part of the americas closest to europe which is garbage. a year after the uprising door the leader of the rebellion was executed in public. the result of a large scale experiment between portugal and africa south despite the violence it was born in has shaped its own history a history founded on the whole roic struggle of the 1st slaves.

to ensure the survival of their economic model the portuguese took their slaves with their agricultural insights to brazil. by demonstrating that the model could be exported to the americas they inspired other europeans to do the same sound. the intermediary stage and the spread of sugar. and in some ways where was. the 1st caribbean island although it was more in the caribbean. in 1620 the portuguese were the uncontested masters of the slave trade 25 years after the revolt headed by a mad dog they had already deported 300000 captives to brazil and central america and soon it would be the other european powers turn to embark on conquests of the new world with them the slave trades tentacles spread all across the atlantic and
