                        Key Stage 4 History
               British Slave Trade and its Abolition

History students need to support their study of historical topics from a variety of sources.  This web page (Source A) will assist students in understanding types of slavery in West Africa and the early intervention by the King of Benin to put a stop to the growing Atlantic Slave Trade.  
     
                         Go To website --->
 
Exam tips from BBC Bitesize:
  • A source is never completely useless or completely useful.
  • Biased, unreliable sources can still be useful.
  • Think about what the source might be useful for.
  • You may need to add in your own knowledge to make complete sense of the source.

Question

Evidence source B
The Oba (of Benin), needing more manpower himself, decided to limit the outward flow of males – and then, from about 1550, to prohibit slave exports altogether.’ (Disney, 2009, p.63)

After this ban, explain how the slave trade expanded. Support your answer with facts.
