Nzinga Mbemba, also known as King Afonso I, was the ruler of Kongo who protested against the slave trade. He wrote letters to the Portuguese king and the Pope condemning the trade of African people as slaves.
Afonso, ruler of the Kongo, initially supported the slave trade as a way to strengthen his kingdom's economy. However, he later grew concerned about the negative impact on his society and people. He wrote multiple letters to European leaders, including the Portuguese king, expressing his unease and opposition to the slave trade.
Abolitionists such as William Wilberforce, Thomas Clarkson, and Olaudah Equiano argued against the continuation of the slave trade. They used moral, ethical, and religious arguments to push for the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade.
Afonso asked for help to stop the slave trade because he saw the devastating impact it was having on his people and his kingdom. He believed that the Portuguese king had the power to influence the traders and put an end to the exploitation of his people. Additionally, Afonso likely wanted to maintain good relations with Portugal and saw this as an opportunity for collaboration.
