The Transatlantic slave trade radically impaired Africa's potential to develop economically and maintain its social and political stability. The arrival of Europeans on the West African Coast and their establishment of slave ports in various parts of the continent triggered a continuous process of exploitation of Africa's human resources, labor, and commodities. This exploitative commerce influenced the African political and religious aristocracies, the warrior classes and the biracial elite, who made small gains from the slave trade, to participate in the oppression of their own people. The Europeans, on the other hand, greatly benefited from the Atlantic trade, since it allowed them to amass the raw materials that fed the Industrial Revolution to the detriment of African societies whose capacity to transform their modes of production into a viable entrepreneurial economy was severely halted.

What was a factor in President Ford's loss in the election of 1976?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

C. Ford failed to lower inflation.

Explanation:

The Vietnam War made the Johnson and Nixon's administrations greatly increase the military budget and expenditure which in turn greatly increased the government's debt. President Gerald Ford inherited this debt from his two predecessors, but it was so large to handle that inflation got out of control. This perceived failure cost president Ford his re-election in 1976, emerging the Democrat candidate, Jimmy Carter, as the elected president of the United States for the 1976 -1980 term.
