Queen Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba fought against Portuguese slave traders in the 17th century by forming alliances with other African nations and resisting Portuguese colonization. She also utilized diplomacy and military tactics to combat the slave trade, including establishing a network to free and protect enslaved Africans.
The Portuguese benefited from the slave trade by acquiring slaves to work on plantations, mines, and households in their colonies, which helped to boost their economy and enrich Portuguese traders and merchants. The slave trade also provided a cheap source of labor that was crucial for the development of their overseas colonies in Africa, Brazil, and other parts of the world. Additionally, the slave trade contributed to the growth of Portuguese ports and cities as key hubs for the trafficking of enslaved people.
Prince Henry's view on slavery changed over time from initially supporting and benefiting from the slave trade to later advocating against it due to the brutal treatment of slaves and the negative impact it had on Portugal's reputation. He became more involved in promoting exploration and trade instead of relying on slave labor.
European colonizers and slave traders often justified slavery by claiming that they were providing a better life for enslaved Africans compared to conditions in their home countries. This belief was fueled by racist ideologies and a desire to exploit African labor for economic gain.
Those people could not have cared less one way or the other, it was only money, money, money they were interested in, the slaves were nothing more than merchandise to be bought and sold, so their morals were never questioned.
