The effects of the slave trade depended on which side you were on. If you were the slave owner, the slave trade had the effect of providing a cheap labor force to increase production and sales. The slave trade itself provided a business opportunity in the direct sale of this low cost labor force. The growth of the cotton industry and that of many of other agricultural commodities would not have been possible without slave labor. If you were the slave, it had many devastating effects. Slaves had limited free will. They were separated from their families and often forced to work in harsh conditions. The treatment of the slaves depended on their owner. Some were treated better than others.
