Native Americans and African slaves did not always get along. While some tribes and individuals formed friendships or alliances with enslaved Africans, others participated in the slave trade or even owned slaves themselves. Conflicts and tensions were also common between different groups as they navigated the complex dynamics of colonization and slavery in the Americas.

How did the African slave trade expand?

The African slave trade expanded through the demand for labor in European colonies in the Americas, particularly in plantations for crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton. European powers established trading posts along the African coast and engaged in the exchange of goods for enslaved Africans, who were then transported across the Atlantic to work on plantations. The trade was further fueled by the development of a complex network of slave traders, merchants, and middlemen.


What was Best example of cultural diffusion in Africa?

One of the best examples of cultural diffusion in Africa is the spread of Islam across the continent through trade networks.

This diffusion of Islam influenced art, architecture, language, and social customs in many African societies.


Why and how were Africans captured to be slaves?

Africans were used because they were partially immune to tropical diseases like malaria and yellow fever. The Europeans would have preferred to use natives on their New World, but they kept dying on them. So they shipped in hardier stock (PS if my wording sounds harsh, whatever, it's just true from overseas. The Africans captured were from unorganized tribal villages along the west coast; easy pickings for the slave traders. They were simply forcibly abducted, sometimes entire villages, but more often only half the village, so the remaining people could give birth to more future slaves. THEY WERE GREEDY AND WANTED SOMEONE TO WORK FOR THEM. Americans perception towards the Africans at this time was that they were property. The Americans viewed the slaves as a better source of labor. They also viewed the slaves as having no rights.

Were African-Americans and Native Americans enemies or friends?

From my Native American and African American background, I can tell you that my relative native american and african american families worked along side each other on the plantation. No, they probably didn't enjoy being slaves on a plantation, but it is evidence given from my 100 year old grandmother. She made a book about our family history I never forgot and the native american/ african american mixing was the most recent (meaning 1800's) further mixing of my already west indian family line. So, they were friends and a little more.
