Article Evaluation

The article I chose to review is Slavery in Africa. As I was reading the article, I did notice that the article was very long and had too much information in the article, which makes sense considering the topic is a fairly large one. It started discussing the different forms of slavery that happened throughout Africa and then leads to the certain areas of Africa where slavery was relevant. Lastly, it ends with the abolition of slavery and the affects it had on the European economy. The tone was set very neutral and unbiased, which is surprising for an article that discusses slavery. After checking the facts that were referenced, the citations that I clicked on all brought me to reliable sources, although I would prefer to stick with peer journals and websites ending with "org". Overall, the article was very informative but also had a lot to mention considering the topic.
