I have a friend from Cape Verde. At the time I never heard of the country and since then I decided to study geography and world history. Its incredible how much we can learn about people if we put int the effort to learn.

Cape verde was a desert island when discovered by Portugal in 1460. By 1750 there was 50 000 inhabitants, so the slaves do not originate from cape verde. Cape verde was an outpost for slaves bought in senegambia region, the slaves stayed in cape verde enough time to be christianized and learn portuguese and then sent to Portugal or Spain (between 1450 and 1500) and to south america after 1500. After 1650 the French controled the island of Goree in Senegal which allowed them to bypass Cape verde island as an outpost for slave trafficking Fun fact, there was a quite relatively important slave community in Portugal and Spain. There are paintings from the 1500 and 1600 where you see families with african nurses. There are registries of church communities in Porto and Lisbon composed of african people. In the island of Madeira, there was 10% of african slaves working in sugar cane plantations.

Thank you for uploading, this seems to be the best history video about Cape Verde, do you have any other resources about the country's colonial history?

Family lifeedit It is not known if Rodrigues de Lamego had any offspring, however, his siblings had many and some of them married into prominent families. This includes the Lousadas, a prominent Sephardic Jewish family who were involved in sugar plantations in the Caribbean as slave-owners in Jamaica and Barbados (both in the British West Indies) and then later relocated to London in the 18th century: a prominent example is Emanuel Lousada.[8] Other relatives were involved with prominent figures; Duarte Rodrigues de Lamego of Rouen was substantial creditor to Michael de Spinoza, the father of the excommunicated philosopher Baruch Spinoza.[8] In addition to this, the family provided many spies to the Portuguese government.[8]
