| Abstract
|
:
|
As the slave trade entered its last, illegal phase in the 19th century, the town of Lagos on West Africa's Bight of Benin became one of the most important port cities north of the equator. This work explores the reasons for Lagos' sudden rise to power. It uncovers the relationship between African slavery and the growth of Lagos.
