How did the discovery of the Americas affect the people of Africa

History

Well, once the Americas were discovered and the colonist found that the soil was agreeable to grow different crops such as tobacco and cotton the colonists realized that they needed people to pick the crops. Originally indentured servants did the hard labor but then when they found that they could get labor by trading goods with African tribal leaders they resorted to importing Africans to the Americas as labor. The tribes in Africa were constantly fighting and whichever side won the losers became the slaves of the winning tribe. However, as Europeans brought valuable things to the continent of Africa such as weapons, salt, gold, and other things the leaders of the winning tribe would give their slaves to the Europeans. There were cases when Blacks captured other Blacks in Africa for the sole purpose of giving them to the European traders. Hopefully this helps. If you haven't see the movie La Amistad, it will explain in more detail what I have written. I learned a lot from that movie. I must warn you the first 5 to 10 minutes are a bit gory. I had a hard time watching that part.

Why did government officials knowingly not oppose McCarthyism? What was result?
Alex Ar [27]
McCarthyism was about prosecuting communists and socialists which is something that the government had no problems with. They didn't care who got caught as long as there were no communists to usurp the government or motivate the people to overthrow it since there was a big scare about communism becoming powerful.

The result was that a huge amount, the majority of people questioned, were questioned and punished while being completely innocent as it all turned out to be a contemporary witch hunt. Those blacklisted couldn't find jobs or places to live at or anything similar because the people believed McCarthy when he spoke about who a communist was.
