Slave history
[edit]The main reason for adding the slave history to the article is because Bimbia is a slave port. Its history is about slavery and slave trade. It was a slave camp during the trans- atlantic slave trade. Slaves were keept in bimbia to be transported abroad. worthy of note is the fact that the slave camps still exist upstill date in bimbia(in ruins due to longivity).The sea exactly close to it to facilitate transportation.

- This article makes it clear that Bimbia was a slave port, but there were slave ports all along the coast. It is wrong to include a long discussion of the Atlantic slave trade in all the articles about all these ports. That belongs in the broad article on Atlantic slave trade. This article should stick to specific information about Bimbia.
