Africans' response to the crimes of slavery ranged from armed resistance and migration away from the coastal regions to complicity and participation. There is not one singular response to the crimes of slavery but rather the responses were as numerous as the individuals whom this brutal institution affected. The crimes of slavery also had a profound effect on the quality of life within Africa, encouraged war and negatively impacted reproduction which all shaped and limited the range of choices Africans had available to them. This should always be kept in mind when considering this question
