tangare [24]3 years ago

Before the civil war, Virginia was a state that had had slaves for over 250 years.

Populations started to change gradually.

Some slaves began obtaining their freedom. (some escaped, some finished their indetured time, some purchased freedom through saving of wages , or through a good relationship with their masters)

Southern states had economies dependent on slavery, ( crops and tobacco mainly)  but the urge for abolition grew in the North. Slavery was a source of  conflict between the states as the country grew. The emancipation of all of the remaining slaves took place during the years of the American Civil War

Arrange the events leading to the development of the slave trade in the correct sequence.
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

1. The Portuguese establish sugar plantations on islands off the coast of West Africa;

2. Portuguese laborers are unwilling to leave their homeland;

3. The Portuguese bring in slaves to work on their plantations;

4. Other European countries also start purchasing enslaved Africans;

The Portuguese didn't really investigated the situation about the labor force before they make sugar plantations, so they set them up, and it turned out that the Portuguese people are not willing to come and work on them, so they were left with plantations without laborers. Since they didn't wanted this investment to be for nothing, they started buying African slaves from some of the stronger tribes that were keeping slaves. They used them as labor force afterwards, and saw the long term benefit of it, so started to purchase more and more slaves. After the word spread out, and also after the other European countries started to have colonies, they too started to purchase African slaves, thus making it a huge business for both, them and the stronger African tribes that were selling the slaves to them.

How did slavery impact West Africa?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The domestic and agricultural labor became more evidently primary in Western Africa due to slaves being regarded as these "political tools" of access and status. Slaves often had more wives than their owners, and this boosted the class of their owners. Slaves were not all used for the same purpose.

Explanation:

Slavery and the slave trades had a significant impact on the size of the population and the gender distribution throughout much of Africa.By providing firearms amongst the trade goods, Europeans increased warfare and political instability in West Africa. Some states, such as Asante and Dahomey, grew powerful and wealthy as a result. Other states were completely destroyed and their populations decimated as they were absorbed by rivals.
