Cape verde was a desert island when discovered by Portugal in 1460. By 1750 there was 50 000 inhabitants, so the slaves do not originate from cape verde. Cape verde was an outpost for slaves bought in senegambia region, the slaves stayed in cape verde enough time to be christianized and learn portuguese and then sent to Portugal or Spain (between 1450 and 1500) and to south america after 1500. After 1650 the French controled the island of Goree in Senegal which allowed them to bypass Cape verde island as an outpost for slave trafficking Fun fact, there was a quite relatively important slave community in Portugal and Spain. There are paintings from the 1500 and 1600 where you see families with african nurses. There are registries of church communities in Porto and Lisbon composed of african people. In the island of Madeira, there was 10% of african slaves working in sugar cane plantations.

Thank you for uploading, this seems to be the best history video about Cape Verde, do you have any other resources about the country's colonial history?

Coastal raids" during the Transatlantic Slave Trade refer to attacks carried out by European slave traders directly on African coastal communities to capture people and force them into slavery, often by raiding villages and towns along the coastline to acquire captives for the slave trade; while some traders relied on local African intermediaries, early in the trade, direct coastal raids were a common method of acquiring slaves
@ComingToAfrica
Have you found any sources that mention the names of the enslaved on Cape Verde?

During Portuguese colonial rule, many Cape Verdians were employed by the Portuguese government as civil servants in other African colonies like Guinea Bissau, São Tomé, Angola and even Mozambique. This was because Cape Verdians were considered Portuguese citizens thus having access to a better education. In 1975 many Cape Verdians opposed independence, prefering to be Portuguese citizens. However the left wing wave that spread across Portugal and its colonies made it almost impossible. Madeira and Azores however were spared, because of their whiteness. Left wingers again proving to be the most racists of all although the majority don’t think so. Cape Verde today is an example of Portuguese mulatto culture, they speak a Portuguese creole language and are basically much more Portuguese then African. Culturally, even their national music, the morna, is so much like the fado. Therefore Cape Verde, like Madeira and the Canary Islands, although situated in African waters, should be in Europe and not Africa.

Great video! I was wondering What is your sources for saying that there were 14000 enslaved Africans and 1600 Portuguese and mixed people?
@jecinasema5190
Good narrative. But some essential facts are missing as re The Papal Bull and the Portuguese declaring who were slaves.

Family lifeedit It is not known if Rodrigues de Lamego had any offspring, however, his siblings had many and some of them married into prominent families. This includes the Lousadas, a prominent Sephardic Jewish family who were involved in sugar plantations in the Caribbean as slave-owners in Jamaica and Barbados (both in the British West Indies) and then later relocated to London in the 18th century: a prominent example is Emanuel Lousada.[8] Other relatives were involved with prominent figures; Duarte Rodrigues de Lamego of Rouen was substantial creditor to Michael de Spinoza, the father of the excommunicated philosopher Baruch Spinoza.[8] In addition to this, the family provided many spies to the Portuguese government.[8]

Enslaved Africans first arrived in Barbados in 1627.

Birth rate is so high in Cabo Verde ... food, water and jobs are scarce. Men makes children easily and women takes care of children survival all the time. No birth control, no protection ... not a very poor country clever behaviour ... Crime is high in actual capital Praia. No citizens respect also. "The shorter the family better opportunities for all" was over crowded country India government philosophy.

I never believed the stories of Europeans, they talk as if civilizations in Africa began from the moment they invaded Africa. I would really like to one day come to know the true history of the country where I was born. My great-grandmother said that when she was little there were camels in Cape Verde. The Portuguese sailors discovered nothing, they invaded and destroyed African civilizations, Portugal was very poor and other European countries only began to value Portugal from the moment they understood that the riches that Portugal obtained was because of the African continent. It is regrettable to see that in the 21st century they still continue to lie and the worst thing is that the majority of black people accept it without protesting. The Arabs for 1400 years enslaved and sold black people, the Europeans for 400 years did the same as the Arabs, so I wonder if we black people should believe that they tell our stories? Who should we blame for all the genocides that have existed and still exist in Africa? From whom should we demand reparations? For the non-development of our continent?
