	Africa Abstract
		The beginning of the end of the slave trade was the 1798 slave rebellion in Saint-Domingue (Haiti) in which the slave community overthrew the French colonial government.
		The slave rebellion in Saint Domingue in the late 18th century disrupted the sugar trade, encouraging the development of a massive sugar producing capacity in Brazil, which did not abolish the slave trade until the 1830’s.
		The basis for the rebellion were economic policies that imposed oppressive requirements for cotton production on native communities, which became poorer as more land became devoted to cotton cultivation at the expense of life sustaining crops.

		The Maji Maji rebellion (1905-1907) has been considered a pivotal event in the history of early colonial Tanzania and Africa.
		The nationalist historiography of Maji Maji went unchallenged for a generation.6 The weight of the nationalist discourse and its permeation of textbooks and surveys of African history made it into a historical tradition that has not been friendly to more nuanced interpretations of early Tanzanian colonial history.
		For example, one study notes that land was not an African grievance on the eve of the Maji Maji war, because Germans guaranteed Africans ample access to land.7 However, this assertion errs by severing land as an economic resource from its surrounding environment, something that African peasants and pastoralists would not have done.
