Question

source 6.4 the slave trade and the kingdom of asante
osei bonsu | conversation with joseph dupuis |
1820

ow,\ said the king, after a pause, \i have another palaver, and you must
help me to talk it. a long time ago the great king of england liked plenty
of trade, more than now; then many ships came, and they bought ivory,
gold, and slaves; but now he will not let the ships come as before, and the
people buy gold and ivory only. this is what i have in my head, so now
tell me truly, like a friend, why does the king do so?\ \his majestys
question,\ i replied, \was connected with a great palaver, which my
instructions did not authorise me to discuss. i had nothing to say regarding
the slave trade.\ \i know that too,\ retorted the king; \because, if my
master liked that trade, you would have told me so before. i only want to
hear what you think as a friend: this is not like the other palavers.\ i was
confessedly at a loss for an argument that might pass as a satisfactory
reason, and the sequel proved that my doubts were not groundless. the
king did not deem it plausible, that this obnoxious traffic should have been
abolished from motives of humanity alone; neither would he admit that it
lessened the number either of domestic or foreign wars.

Explanation:

Question 19 (Multiple Choice)

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: From the text, Osei Bonsu is concerned about the end of the slave trade disrupting his state (trade of ivory, gold, slaves affected). Afonso (from historical context) viewed the slave trade as disruptive to his state (as it harmed his kingdom). This matches.
• Option 2: The text has no info about Osei Bonsu arguing only males be enslaved, nor Afonso's trading of genders. Eliminate.
• Option 3: No info about Osei Bonsu trading only with Christians or Afonso with Muslims. Eliminate.
• Option 4: The text doesn't say Osei Bonsu rejected selling prisoners of war as slaves, nor Afonso's stance. Eliminate.

• Analyze each option:
• "The life of slaves in the Americas": The source is about Osei Bonsu's view on slave trade, not slaves' life in Americas. Eliminate.
• "The role played by African facilitators of the slave trade": Osei Bonsu (an African ruler) is involved in the slave trade (trading ivory, gold, slaves), so this is supported.
• "The human suffering generated by the slave trade": The source focuses on trade disruption, not human suffering. Eliminate.
• "The perspective of European slave buyers": The text has the king asking about the English king's decision, but not the perspective of European buyers. Wait, no—wait, the source is Osei Bonsu's conversation, but "African facilitators" is correct as Osei Bonsu is an African ruler facilitating trade. Also, wait, re - check: The source is about Osei Bonsu (African) and his role in slave trade (facilitator as he traded slaves, ivory, gold). So "The role played by African facilitators of the slave trade" is correct. Wait, maybe I made a mistake earlier. Wait, let's re - evaluate:

Wait, the source is Osei Bonsu (African king) talking about the slave trade. So:

• "The role played by African facilitators of the slave trade": Osei Bonsu is an African facilitator (trading slaves, etc.), so this is supported.
• Wait, also, is there another? Wait, the options:

Wait, maybe I missed. Wait, the source is about Osei Bonsu's view. Let's check each:

1. "The life of slaves in the Americas": No, source is about trade in Africa, not slaves' life in Americas.
2. "The role played by African facilitators of the slave trade": Osei Bonsu is an African ruler involved in slave trade (trading slaves, ivory, gold), so this is evidence of African facilitators.
3. "The human suffering generated by the slave trade": Source doesn't discuss suffering.
4. "The perspective of European slave buyers": The source has the king asking about the English king's decision, but not the perspective of European buyers. Wait, no—actually, the source is Osei Bonsu's view, but "African facilitators" is correct. Wait, maybe I was wrong. Wait, let's re - check the source: "then many ships came, and they bought ivory, gold, and slaves"—so Osei Bonsu is facilitating the slave trade (as he is the one trading with Europeans). So "The role played by African facilitators of the slave trade" is correct. Are there others? Wait, maybe I missed. Wait, no—wait, the other options:

Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's re - analyze:

• "The role played by African facilitators of the slave trade": Yes, Osei Bonsu (African) is a facilitator (trading slaves, etc.).
• Wait, is there another? Wait, the option "The perspective of European slave buyers"—the source has the king asking about the English king's decision, but not the perspective of European buyers. So only "The role played by African facilitators of the slave trade" is correct? Wait, no—wait, maybe I messed up. Wait, the source is Osei Bonsu's conversation. Let's check again:

Wait, the question is "Source 6.4 provides evidence on which of the following? Choose ALL that apply"
Wait, maybe I was wrong about "The perspective of European slave buyers". Wait, the text says "the great king [of England] liked plenty of trade, more than now; then many ships came, and they bought ivory, gold, and slaves; but now he will not let the ships come as before". So this is about the English king's (European) decision on slave trade, but not the perspective of European slave buyers (what they think about buying slaves). So that's not it.
Wait, maybe the correct answer is "The role played by African fa…
