Sierra Leone, a country in West Africa, has a special significance in the history of the transatlantic slave trade as the departure point for thousands of west African captives. The capital, Freetown, was founded as a home for repatriated former slaves in 1787. Sierra Leone is a country in West Africa, on the Atlantic Ocean. It’s known for the white-sand beaches lining the Freetown Peninsula. The capital city, Freetown, commemorates the nation’s slave-trade history with the Cotton Tree landmark and King’s Yard Gate. Both were known as places of refuge for returned slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. Nearby Bunce Island was a key departure point during the slave trade. ― Google Capital: Freetown President: Julius Maada Bio Recognised national languages: Mende • Temne • Krio • Limba Population: 7.65 million (2018) World Bank https://ntb.gov.sl/ sierra leone,things about sierra leone,top 10 things about sierra leone,sierra leone culture,sierra leone passport,sierra leon women,sierra leone flag,sierra leone food sierra,leone music,best places to visit in sierra leone,top 10 africa,top 10 culture,top 10 africa.,Discover Sierra Leon,facts about sierra leone,sierra leone news,sierra leone travel vlog,freetown sierra leone vlog,sierra leone news current 2020,travel blogs,daily vlogs 2020,Freetown. #Edusplorer. #Discover Sierra Leone https://www.visitsierraleone.org/
