Part 3: The Slave Trade The Last Light of Zanzibar

The slave trade had been a part of Zanzibar’s history for centuries. It was a lucrative business, and the island was a hub for the buying and selling of human beings. The slaves were brought to Zanzibar from all over Africa, and were sold to buyers from all over the world.

The slaves were treated terribly, and were often subjected to inhumane conditions. They were forced to work long hours in the fields, and were given little food or rest. Many of them died from exhaustion or disease.

The slave trade was a major source of wealth for Zanzibar, and the island’s economy depended on it. The slave trade was so profitable that it was even supported by the Sultan of Zanzibar.

The slave trade was finally abolished in 1873, but the effects of it still linger in Zanzibar today. The island is still home to many descendants of slaves, and the legacy of the slave trade is still visible in the culture and architecture of the island.

The Last Light of Zanzibar was a reminder of the dark history of the slave trade. It was a reminder of the suffering and injustice that had been inflicted upon so many people. It was a reminder that the past should never be forgotten, and that the people of Zanzibar should never forget the legacy of the slave trade.
