From the expansion of the Atlantic slave trade during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century to the period after its prohibition in 1836, the social and economic transformations experienced by these African communities intensified and laid the groundwork for further Portuguese colonization of Angola. cache/9019s18186k.txt txt/9019s18186k.txt
