    The British established a trading post in Sierra Leone in the 17th century for timber and ivory that later expanded into slaves. They also delivered liberated Africans from illegal slave ships to Freetown, and the colony gradually expanded inland during the 19th century. Sierra Leone gained independence in 1961 but later suffered a civil war from 1991-2002 that resulted in many deaths and displaced over 2 million people, though democracy has been reestablished since.

    Title of Article:Cia World factbook Author: Central intelligence agency

    Direct Quotation: The British set up a trading post near present-day


    Freetown in the 17th century. Originally the trade involved timber and ivory,
    but later it expanded into slaves.

    Paraphrase:British crews delivered thousands of Africans liberated from illegal slave


    ships to Sierra Leone, especially from Freetown. The colony gradually expanded inland
    during the course of the 19th century. Independence was established in 1961. Democracy was
    slowly being reestablished after the civil war (1991-2002) that resulted in tens of
    thousands of deaths and the displacement of more than 2 million people (about one third of
    the population).

    Summary:Coming to an end the military then took over full responsibility for security
    following the departure of UN peacekeepers at the end of 2005, has developed as a guarantor
    of the country's stability; the armed forces remained on the sideline during the 2007 and
    2012 national elections.
