Excellent article and frankly unsurprising given the predominantly left-wing politics of the UK educational system. There is also never any mention about the dominant African tribes who enslaved their vanquished opponents (other African tribes) and sold them off or kept them as their own slaves. Most people, myself included, are unaware of the inconvenient facts about global slavery.
Thankfully you and others like History Reclaimed www.historyreclaimed.co.uk are able to provide a balanced account of world history untainted by the post-modern revisionists.
