Answer:
The slave trade brought about a negative impact on African societies and led to the long-term impoverishment of West Africa. This intensified effects that were already present amongst its rulers, kinships, kingdoms and in society.
Some societies preyed on others to obtain captives to exchange for firearms. They believed they had to acquire firearms in this way to protect themselves from attack and capture by rivals. Demand for African captives, particularly for the sugar plantations in the Americas, became so great that they could only be acquired by initiating raiding and warfare. Large areas of Africa were devastated and societies disintegrated.
Explanation:
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.

I had a hard time watching that part.

Explanation:
The Renaissance followed the Humanism. This thought placed importance on the human capacity to produce and solve problems, create artistic elements and guide their lives satisfactorily without the help of divine powers. Humanism tried to overthrow the medieval idea about humankind. The medieval man should be pure, sanctified, capable of overcoming sin to ensure the salvation of the soul. Renaissance tried to show humans as they were and to promote their potential.
