I give you the reason why the British saw little profit in Africa hence it remained largely unknown to them for a long time. It was highly inaccessible from the coast with ships and demanded long trek with pack animals . Obviously is bound bountiful since they fought tooth and nail to keep it their share of it. Gandhi is irrelevant to the discussion since he is an artifact of the 20th century and long after slavery was gone.Nonsense, inland trek did not stop the occupation of south america by the Europeans once they discovered that there was profit to be gained.
Again, your ignorance is in full flowering. I stated why and how it is different and can point you to the writing of many who asked why it took so long to enter the interior of Africa and the reasons supplied.
I answered, it was a waste of effort, no profit to gain. Africa's primary resource was its slave labor, why would white man go inland when blacks would do it for them and sell their own people for a few beads
