Look Jews were heavily involved in the slave trade. FACT, get over it.So what. I said Jews financed the first expeditions to W. Africa. Jews were heavily involved on the slave trade.That was 30 years after the first financed expedition in which the island was discovered. It is well known that Portugal made Jews convert or they had to leave. That started in 1496-97.Portuguese Jews financed the first W. African expedition and built the first sugar plantations off of the coast of W. Africa. An Island they named Sao Tome around 1470.Although not taught in school, it was the Dutch Jews who started and ran the African slave trade in both North and South America. ....In 1619, the Dutch introduced the first captured Africans to America, planting the seeds of a slavery system that evolved into a nightmare of abuse and cruelty that would ultimately divide the nation.
Álvaro Caminha founded the colony of São Tomé in 1493. The Portuguese came to São Tomé in search of land to grow sugarcane. The island was uninhabited before the arrival of the Portuguese sometime around 1470. São Tomé, situated about 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of the equator, had a climate wet enough to grow sugarcane in wild abundance. 2,000 Jewish children, eight years old and under, were taken from the Iberian peninsula for work on the sugar plantations.[2]
Príncipe was settled in 1500 under a similar arrangement. Attracting settlers proved difficult, however, and most of the earliest inhabitants were "undesirables" sent from Portugal, mostly Jews.

Financed? More like kicked off and taken into slavery during Inquisition.
Exactly, and the first expedition was in 1493, Álvaro Caminha founded the colony,
after in 1942 (rings familiar?) king John II of Portugal appointed him governor,
sending 2,000 Jewish kids, 8 and below, to work on plantations - as slaves.
Do you need this explained on fingers?
Yes, you said, and were shown to be quiet wrong,
actually one couldn't be more wrong than you still insist on.
