There, they worked as field workers, teachers or harem guards, which is why the castration of male slaves was common practice. Muslims, on the other hand, including African Muslims, were not allowed to be enslaved, according to Islamic legal views.

The slave trade in East Africa really took off from the 17th century. More and more merchants from Oman settled in Zanzibar. The island took on an even more important role in the international trade of goods due to the large trade at the Swahili coast and consequently also in the slave trade. This is how the largest slave market in East Africa was created.Only estimates, some of which vary widely, exist as to how many Africans were sold from East to North Africa. This is also due to the fact that many of the slaves perished. Scientific research concludes that about three out of four slaves died before they reached the market where they were to be sold. The causes were hunger, illness or exhaustion after long journeys.

N.B: These are my sticky notes for my annotated work. Yellow: Sir Bartle states in the article states that he has not visited the coast of Zanzibar, which is in Mozambique (East Africa), after his late scenes of labor in slavery, mainly because of several reasons, such as the consensus that was not met that encountered for the suppression of the sea borne slave traffic. Green: The author reveals that the slave market was dominantly controlled by the English cathedral church. This church was at its peak regards to their activities in the slave trade in East Africa. Blue: The source points that Sir Bartle Frere was appointed to H.M.S London, where he took control for 3 years in his role. He dealt with obstacles that hindered the shipment of his slaves in Zanzibar and Pemba channels. He done this by learning the coast language and by familiarizing himself with the slave in the coast. Red: The Source states that the geographical map of Mozambique was written "Makua's country", which was the ruler of Mozambique who was against the slave trade on the coast. Consequently, the geographical map of Mozambique supported the schemes of the suppression of the slave trade from Rovuma to Zanzibar and between Lake Shirwa and the coast.
