Most European countries were in expansion of conquest, and Africa was a found ground for it. Many Africans were kidnapped from Western Africa and brought to Portugal. But a reason can be for the economic prosperity the slave trade brought to those countries.

<em><u>One main reason why slave-trading greatly expanded beginning around the 1500s Europeans started depending on slaves for free labor in new colonies. </u></em>

Further Explanations:

The most prominent reason behind the expansion of slave trading was that the Europeans began depending upon the workforce of slaves in their new colonies. The South Atlantic and Caribbean economy relied upon the laborer for the cotton production and it is a well-known datum that cotton production requires lot of manpower. The slaves that were brought to these colonies were compelled to works in the fields without being paid.  

 

During the 1550 first consignment of slaves was sent from West Africa to America. It unlocked the path for Arabs, European and African merchants to get involved in slave trade and expand it. They began to peddle slaves as though they were goods like ivory, gold, and spices. The African slaves were mostly transported to America through the Atlantic Ocean and for that reason, it was also known as the Atlantic slave trade.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Since the Civil Rights Movement, we have made strides to remove redlining, segregation laws, and other errors in diversity movements of the past. An example of a growth since the Civil Rights Movement would be the workplace discrimination act, stating that businesses may not turn down possible employees due to race, disability, age, gender, or ethnicity. However, in terms of race, we still have far to go. In criminal justice reform, in stereotyping, and in the display we have of diversity in media today are just a few places in which race reforms are needed. For example, there are very few kids shows which include a black character as the main character. This is harmful, as black children grow up seeing white people as the heroes and black people as the background characters, never the active participants in the protagonist  story line.  Education reforms in inner cities have been proven to greatly aid black success as lower income areas tend to attract teachers which are not as prepared as those in higher income, traditionally white neighborhoods thanks to the remnants of redlining in the Jim Crowe era. We have removed obvious race problems since the Civil Rights movement such as the poll tax, grandfather clause, and the literacy tests, but this is the tip of the iceberg in removing underlying systematic oppression which is not actively put in place today to harm those of non-Caucasian groups.  

Explanation:

This is a highly debated topic, and your teacher may be wanting your opinion which may or may not align with mine. I tried to provide as many examples on both sides as I could in a concise answer and I hope this helped!
