Question: Explain one way in which barbot’s background might have influenced his comments about the dutch and the portuguese in the second paragraph.
One possible way to explain Barbot's background influencing his comments about the Dutch and the Portuguese in the second paragraph is to consider his role as a French agent of the Royal African Company. Barbot was writing his account to promote the interests of his company and his country, which were in competition with the Dutch and the Portuguese for trade and influence in West Africa. Therefore, he might have exaggerated or distorted some aspects of their behavior and culture to make them look worse than they were, or to justify his own actions against them.
