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.
This picture depicts the place that was referred as the market slave, where enslaved Africans were transported before they were enslaved or bought to other countries.
Back then, Arab Muslims in North and East Africa sold captured Africans to the Middle East. 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 Article states that Arab Muslims in the East Africa enslaved Africans to the middle East, where they had to work as teachers, as field workers, or harem guards which was regarded as the castration of male slaves practice. Africans wee enslaved but according to the Islamic legal views, African Muslims were not allowed to be enslaved.
Long forgotten is the dark past that overshadowed this sunny paradise 200 years ago. The archipelago, which today is a semi-autonomous part of Tanzania, was then regarded as the center of the East African slave trade.
The Article states that Tanzania located in the east Africa was the center of the Eastern Slave trade, whereby all slave were brought to it before they were enslaved to other countries.
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.
The article specify the occurrence date of the Slave trade in East Africa which took off from the 17th century in Zanzibar. This location Zanzibar was very vital in the international trade due to Swahili coast trade and slave trade which led to the largest market in East Africa.

r. It is amusing to read that these latter brought with them slaves to wait upon them, a custom which was promptly stopped by Dr. Clement Scott when he took over charge of the Mission. It was not long before the peace of the Mission was disturbed. Refugee slaves sought asylum and were received and assured of protection. The result was bitter hostility to the Mission on the part of chiefs who had a direct interest in the slave trade and considered th
The Author (Stephen Green) reveals that the Blantyre mission was against the slave trade in east Africa, as it provided protection to slaves. Which then resulted in bitter hostility on the parts of Chiefs who had a direct interest in the slave trade.
About this time mission work was started at Zomba, on the opposite side of the Mlunguzi from the present station. This site was abandoned when Domasi station was opened in 1
e was abandoned when Domasi station was opened in 1884. Troublous times followed. As already noted, the hostility of many chiefs had been aroused by the missionary policy with regard to slaves. In addition to this, grave difficulties arose as a result of the Mission being obliged to exercise civil jurisdiction over the Africans in its charge. Owing to the inexperience of the missionaries, they were led to adopt measures to enforce law and order which were not consistent with the aims of a Christian mission. Matters appeared so serious that some in Scotland advised withdrawal, but in the end the Head of the Mission and two other members were recalled, and a new minister was sent out who, although his time in Nyasaland was comparatively short, was destined to leave his mark on the Mission in a very definite way.
The author states the year of the Blantyre Mission occurrence, which was against the slave trade in Eastern Africa. The author also revealed how this Blantyre mission proposed its mission.
Under the able leadership of Scott the work of the Mission was re-organised. An arrangement was made whereby com? pensation was paid by the Mission to slave owners who could establish a claim to any slaves enjoying sanctuary at the Mission, the slaves to give free service to the Mission until they repaid the price of their ransom. Thus the difficult problem of the refugee slaves was solved to the satisfaction of all, and friendly relations were formed between Mission and Chi
The author reveals how the issue of slaves was solved, as the author explains that Blantyre paid slave owners money so that the slaves would be under the Blantyre mission.
