Question

Which of the following conclusions about the slave trade is most valid based on the historical record?

Answer 1

I would say the second one, because before the slave trade, many Africans had their own tribes and were not as united, so once the slave trade began, the tribes began to unite with one another.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) It caused Africans to unite and support the abolition of slavery.

The most valid conclusion about the slave trade base don historical record is it caused Africans to unite and support the abolition of slavery.

From the very beginning, Africans fought against slavery. African resistance was presented all the time in European slave ships where they were translated to America. When the slaves arrive in America and were working in the fields, they always tried to escape or formed “Maroon Communities” to support each other. Together they conspired against the owners using violent or non-violent means.
