I didn't really know that chocolate had a long history but I knew that it was made from the cocoa bean and ancient people used to use it as a medicine.
It only existed in Mesoamerica in 1900 BCE but it was different from the chocolate that we are used too.
The Spanish were the first people to travel overseas and to encounter chocolate.
Some of the issues where that it only grew by the equator and it was a hard thing to grow and I also don't think it fair that they made children work at the plantations.
The slaves were not very well treated so I wouldn't like to be one of them, But if they had homes and good clothes then they might have felt better.
There are some ways to make sure that the chocolate that you buy has come from a safe place, One of them is to read the back and read where it came from. You can also download an app on your phone so when you scan the bar code it tells you where it has come from.
