The Atlanta slave trade refers to the buying and selling of enslaved individuals in Atlanta, Georgia during the time of slavery in the United States. Atlanta served as a transportation hub for the domestic slave trade, facilitating the movement of enslaved people to other parts of the South.
African slave trade was for greed of gold and trade objects. The American slave trade was based on economically standards and labor. In Africa the slaves were originally held because they owed a debt, was a prisoner of war or committed a crime. The Americans took slaves for any reason. The Africans would assimilate their slaves, where once in America slaves were stripped of everything; clothes, language, religion and identity. For fear/belief that Africans would revolt.
Some Africans were involved in the transatlantic slave trade as intermediaries who captured and enslaved people to sell to European slave traders. Additionally, some African rulers and merchants profited from the trade by selling enslaved individuals in exchange for goods and weapons.
The Atlantic slave trade did not benefit Africans. It led to the forced removal of millions of Africans from their homes, families, and communities, resulting in immense suffering, loss of life, and disruption of societies. The slave trade primarily benefited European and American slave traders, plantation owners, and industries that were built on the exploitation of enslaved Africans.
Fellow Africans were involved in the slave trade for various reasons, including profit, political power, and as a result of intertribal conflicts. European involvement also incentivized some African leaders to participate in the trade.
Both the transatlantic slave trade and the trans-Saharan slave trade involved the capture and forced labor of Africans, leading to significant population displacement and cultural disruption. Additionally, both trades were driven by economic interests, with enslaved individuals being treated as commodities. Another similarity is the devastating impact on the African continent, with widespread trauma and long-lasting social implications.
