That statement is False.
The Clayton antitrust act was created in order to protect the consumers from various forms of malpractices.
The Federal trade commission was created to ensure fair competition between businesses.
In other hands, both of them keep Corporations under control, not the Union.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The Trans-Saharan gold and salt trade
The traders were merchants of the North and West African region that traveled in caravans, using the camel to transport people and goods across the dangers of the Sahara Desert. Akan people were involved in the trade, as well as many other tribes.
Of course, they traded salt and gold, which were the most precious resources of the time for the value they represented. Gold was a precious rock with high value, and salt was as important as gold because people used to preserve food. But they also traded animal skins, ivory, silver, sugar, pepper, and slaves.
These people conducted the trade through camel caravans across the desert, that carried the goods to important trade centers such as Timbuktu and Djenne.
The main reason was the South wanted to preserve slavery. The North wanted to abolish it. If you want some other reasons than slavery, let me know, and I will do my best to add more to this answer.
The big feasts and celebrations that took place.
