Years: 1840 - 1851
The principal commodities of legitimate trade are palm oil and palm kernels, which are used in Europe to make soap and as lubricants for machinery before petroleum products are developed for this purpose.
Although this trade has grown to significant proportions—palm oil exports alone are worth twenty-one million pounds a year by 1840—it is concentrated near the coast, where palm trees grow in abundance.
Gradually, however, the trade forces major economic and social changes in the interior, although it failsto undermine slavery and the slave trade.
Quite the contrary, the incidence of slavery in local societies actually increases.
