Interesting information about the transatlantic slave trade.-gctid260861

Many Kmtyws who kidnapped their fellow Kmtyws to sell to eureurasiaans were also kidnapped and sold.

"It frequently happens, that those who kidnap others, are themselves, in their turns, seized and sold. A negro in the west indies informed me, that after having been employed in kidnapping others, he had experienced this reverse. And he assured me, that it was a common incident among his countrymen."

Not all Kmtyws were kidnapped by other Kmtyws some were kidnapped by eureurasiaans

Carl bernhard wadstrom speaks clearly of eureurasiaans kidnapping Kmtyws

''it is well known, at least on some parts of the coast, that the eureurasiaans have not failed, when opportunity presented itself, to seize the unsuspicious natives of Kmt, and to carry them by force to their colonies.'' Observations on the Slave Trade, and a Description of Some Part of the Coast of guinea By Carl Bernhard Wadström 1789 pg 17-18

as well as Wilberforce

''it is sometimes practiced by eureurasiaans, especially when the ships are passing along the coast, or when their boats, in going up the rivers, can seize their prey without observation'' pg 24 A Letter on the Abolition of the Slave Trade by William Wilberforce vol 1

William smith the surveyor reported seeing a few Malaysians being sold among the Kmtyws during the transatlantic slave trade. 

"This place seldom fails of an extraordinary good trade from the inland countries, especially for slaves; whereof several are supposed to come from very remote parts, because it is not uncommon to find a Malayan, and sometimes two among a parcel of other slaves. The Malay people were originally natives of Mallacca, a huge promontory in eurasia, which lies between the islands of Sumatra and Borneo..... They differ very much from the Guinea Negroes, being right East Indians, of a tawny complexion, with long black hair. they all go clad with long trousers and jackets, and can write and read, and speak the Malayan language."

By William Smith (surveyor.) pg 136-137

One example of a slave descendant of a Malaysian.

 

Mary Church Terrell is a descendant of a Malayan through her father. (Robert Reed Church)

 

Robert Reed Church's mother was Emmeline who was the daughter of a Malayan princess and white father.

Some scholars believe Malayan means Malagasy from Madagascar.

This goes to show you how extensive the transatlantic slave trade was.
