Introduction
The statement "Ironically, European exploration of and expansion into the African continent
was often motivated by moral outrage against slavery" suggests that European countries
engaged in the exploration and colonization of Africa under the guise of eradicating slavery,
despite the fact that they themselves were active participants in the transatlantic slave
trade. This essay will critically discuss this statement, analyzing the complex motivations
and consequences of European exploration and expansion in Africa. It will examine the
historical context of European involvement in the African continent, the impact of
colonization on African societies, and the contradictions inherent in the European rhetoric
of moral outrage against slavery.
