Talk:Slavery

Just for the record, the EITC was never involved in the slave trade in the real-world history, at least not during the first half of the eighteenth century. The import of slaves from Africa to the Caribbean and the Americas was done by the Royal African Company. In fact, it was the EITC which ended the slave trade in Madagascar in 1721. Of course, not because the Company officials wanted to be remembered as good guys, but because they wanted to protect their monopoly against the Madagascar slavers. Also, slave ships attracted many pirate ships to the waters of the Indian Ocean, which is one of the reasons why the EITC wanted to stop the slave trade on Madagascar.--Uskok 12:15, December 23, 2010 (UTC)
