Question

Anthony Knivet’s memoir describes his rise as a servant-turned-slave trader in this modern-day country after he narrowly avoided the skull-crushing massacre of the Cavendish Expedition’s abandoned sailors. Jean-Baptiste Debret’s paintings portrayed the daily lives of slaves in this country. Various rebellious slaves of “Nagô” (“nuh-GO”) ancestry in this country were deported to the Bight of Benin after a failed slave revolt during Ramadan.

In this country, colonial authorities suppressed the “inverted kicks” of a martial (10[1])art used by quilombo (10[1])(“kee-LOM-boo”) fighters.
