E. Over 1000 years

Slaves were traded primarily between 1400-1800 CE, over 1000 years, though evidence suggests they were traded even before that. The slave trade affected the African economy as well as the western economy. It impacted the African economy by providing money to African slave traders/warlords and even providing labor in wealthier parts of Africa such as northern Africa.
