1864: Negro-Portuguese Kidnapped into Slavery (jan 1, 1864 – jan 1, 1865)
Description:
"Some of the kidnapping tales that still linger on this coast, show the straits into which, at times, men were driven for a cargo. At Annobom, where the people are Negro-Portuguese, they are ever looking forwardto hearing mass from the mouth of a priest. A Spaniard learning this, dressed up a pair of ecclesiastics, landed them, and whilst the function
was proceeding, seized the whole congregation, and carried them triumphantly to market"
