Question

How did the Atlantic Slave Trade impact Western Africa?

Answer 1

Depopulation and loss of workers

Step-by-step explanation:

Depopulation because they traded slaves (people) for goods. Causing there to be less people.

Loss of workers because they didn’t have many people who could work. Since they traded their slaves.

Answer 2

Some Africans captured in wars were sold to European traders by other Africans. Many were captured but died of disease or starvation before arriving. The Transatlantic slave trade profoundly diminished Africa’s prospective to develop economically and uphold its social and political stability.

Socially, the biggest impact the Trans-Atlantic slave trade had on West Africa was a decrease in their population.
