Not done: See the response to your previous edit request concerning this. The events in the Congo Free State are not related in any way to the Atlantic slave trade, so this link would not be helpful to readers of the article. Day Creature (talk) 05:55, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I AM NOT AN EXPERT BY ANY MEANS ON THIS TOPIC. BUT I THINK WHAT'S BELOW IS MISLEADING AND IT CERTAINLY CONFUSED ME; IT SEEMS TO USE AN EARLIER TIME FRAME FOR SPAIN AND COMPARES IT TO A LATER TIME FRAME FOR ENGLISH, FRENCH, DUTCH. BUT IN FACT, SPAIN EXPORTED TONS OF SLAVES DURING 19TH CENTURY -- DOES THE ENTRY TELL US THAT??
THIS ESSAY SEEMS MORE CLEAR THAN THE SENTENCES BELOW AND INCLUDES A CHART ABOUT SPAIN'S EXPORTS OF SLAVES (THE CHART COVERS 400 YEARS THOUGH): "Confronting historical ‘amnesia’: Spain’s belated reckoning with slavery" (THIS ESSAY NOT CITED IN THE ENTRY)
WIKIPEDIA CURRENT INFORMATION: For 150 years, Spanish transatlantic traffic was operating at trivial levels. In many years, not a single Spanish slave voyage set sail from Africa. Unlike all of their imperial competitors, the Spanish almost never delivered slaves to foreign territories. By contrast, the British, and the Dutch before them, sold slaves everywhere in the Americas.
The second Atlantic system was the trade of enslaved Africans by mostly English, French, and Dutch traders and investors... 42.98.62.157 (talk) 16:21, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
