Question

How did the Atlantic slave trade affect societies within Africa?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. It forced millions of people from their homes and transported them around the world

Explanation:

The slave trade was the transportation of enslaved people from Africa to America from the 16th century to the 19th century as the emerging economies of America had developed a dependence on slavery necessary for crops and production of other goods. This implied around 12 million Africans were forced to leave their homes and families and transported through the Atlantic, also, around 2.4 million Africans died in their way to America, as well as after arriving in the New World. Due to this, millions of people enslaved in Africa during the Atlantic trade were forced to leave their homes and were transported around the world (especially to America) which affected negatively societies in Africa.
