Ah. So how long do you have to be there to be considered indigenous, would you say? After all, we're all indigenous Africans if you go back far enough, aren't we? And since people have this tiresome tendency to move about, any definition of indigeneity is going to be pretty arbitrary, isn't it?
Which slave trade, i? There was the Arab slave trade (which pre-dated ours by some centuries) and then the Portugee and the Spaniards were at it long before we got in on the act.
What you mean, of course, is that it should date from the involvement of white, English-speaking males (Boo! Hiss!, etc) in doing slavery, which can basically be traced to the foundation of the Royal African Company in (I think) 1660-1670-ish? No other slavery before that counts.
