People from all religions and all races both participated in and fought against the slave trade African rulers' resistance against the slave trade: "The Muslim leader and reformer Nasr al-Din denounced slavery to the people of Senegal in the 1670's and banned the sale of slaves to Christians there, undermining the French trade in slaves. Even some of the captains in charge of slave ships knew it was wrong" http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/africa/features/storyofafrica/9chapter7.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/abolition/africa_article_05.shtml Audio from: Slavery's Legacy in West Africa ""Most Americans think that ships would come from the United States or from Europe to Africa and the sailors would just get off and run out and grab a shipload of people and stuff them in the ship and bring them back. And I think that is a very condescending view of Africans." http://www.npr.org/programs/re/archivesdate/2004/apr/slavery/ "Wonders of the African World" by Henry Louis Jr Gates http://www.amazon.com/Wonders-African-World-Henry-Louis/dp/0375709487/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215315793&sr=1-1
