slaves to be self-disciplined workers.
Anti-slavery ideology
separated slavery from its economic context. It did not question the ownership
of landed properties, but they wanted to transform them to the principle of
capitalist. The Zanzibar Government remain true to these goals.
In 19th
Century it is clear that, it was a time where by anti slavery ideology become

In 1890 Pemba and
Zanzibar become British protectorate and
Kenya coast in 1899

a protectorate was not a colony and the Britishi did not have obligation to end
slavery except in her Britishi colony.
