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. An explorer in this country married to Bartira (“bar-CHEE-ruh”) formed a harem that made him the forefather of many (*) bandeirantes (“bun-day-RUN-chees”), whose slave raids (10[1])supplied labor to the engenho (“en-JANE-yoo”) sugar plantations. In this country, colonial authorities (10[1])suppressed the “inverted kicks” of a martial art used by quilombo (10[1])(“kee-LOM-boo”) fighters. For 10 points, the Golden Law manumitted (10[1])the slaves of what former Portuguese colony? ■END■
