I very much enjoyed this documentary and greatly appreciate you posting sources, it is critical! I also highly recommend the book: *Africa and Africans in the making of the Atlantic World* by John Thornton. In this book Thornton argues against the Gun-Slave-Cycle and Horse-Slave-Cycle which you describe at 14:04 and argues that Europeans did not bear on the African economy as much as was previously thought. Thornton describes the ways in which Europeans failed to gain footholds by force on the continent (one reason being disease, but also that the firearms that European armies of the time prized were slow to reload, allowing time for lightly armored African troops to reach and overwhelm European forces where were small in size). By the 18th century a system where Europeans arrived in African ports, having to pay a duty and trading on mutual terms had arisen. European goods were mostly luxuries used to display the wealth and power of African rulers, not necessities that African nations relied upon. In the second-half of the book Thornton discusses the transfer of African culture to the New World through slaves and the cultural and religious adaptations it underwent there.

In comparison, I just went to watch a documentary that was produced for mainstream TV, but I had to turn it off because the production was trying too hard to be energetic on too many levels, I suppose in an attempt to keep people's attention, but I found it overwhelming and obnoxious. The Histocrat, on the other hand, presents much more information in an easy to digest manner, without annoying bells and whistles. Thanks for the quality content!

Those travel stories are just...incredible barely describes it. To imagine you're detained by hostile locals, displayed like an animal, and forced to eat raw eggs to sate their curiosity, and yet, relatively speaking, it wasn't so bad a day beggars belief. Also on a side note: The production quality, especially the research and script, but also the audio fidelity and visual aids, is just great, and makes this video a pleasure to take in. The only tiny piece of advice I'd give is maybe use some quick visual transition when cutting between takes of the narration video. Thanks for the great work.

It could just be me but I would find it easier to focus on what you're saying if you gestured with both hands kept seperated when you want to do lots of enunciations in a row rather than switching a lot in short succession. Overall I like the in person speaking though, breaks up segments quite well. Thanks for more knowledge :)
