All slaves and goods brought back to Portugal were subject to duties and tariffs.Slaves were baptized before shipment. Their process of enslavement, which was viewed by critics as cruel, was justified by the conversion of the enslaved to Christianity.
Prince Infante D. Henrique began selling African slaves in Lagos in 1444. In 1455, Pope Nicholas V gave Portugal the rights to continue the slave trade in West Africa, under the provision that they convert all people who are enslaved.
The Portuguese soon expanded their trade along the whole west coast of Africa. Infante D Henrique held the monopoly on all expeditions to Africa granted by the crown until his death in 1460. Afterward, any ship sailing for Africa required authorization from the crown.

Water is not a commodity. It is a birthright. It belongs to the earth, to other species, and to future generations. No corporation has the right to control it.

arguably WHAT ??????
American "leftists" do not care about people outside of America. They defend US military members by saying they join because of poverty, while saying it's not okay to join ICE because of poverty. They only care about the victims when they're American.
to the women who built the WNBA:
the gay athletes who were forced to
hide
pretend
and shrink themselves so this league could survive
your quiet courage became the foundation of something bigger than sport. you are the blueprint every league aspires to follow.
Happy pride 💗
