Abstract
This study explores how the customary sequence of trading procedures between European slave traders and African royalty established a relationship of trust. The paper focuses on the experience of European traders on the West Coast of Africa, especially on the ports Whydah and Old Calabar, along with adjoining inland areas of Allada, Abomey, and Dahomey, also central areas of slave trading.
