cause they have two different and very distant cultures
The chaos caused by the demand for slaves prevented talented individuals from participating in the cultures and economies of Africa.
In many West African cultures, enslaved individuals often retained certain rights and could integrate into their owner's family or society, sometimes even earning their freedom. In contrast, the Atlantic slave trade dehumanized enslaved people, treating them as property without personal rights or the possibility of social integration. This led to a system of brutal exploitation, where enslaved individuals faced harsh conditions and had no legal recourse or hope for liberation. Thus, the Atlantic slave trade represented a stark departure from the more nuanced and sometimes protective social structures found in West African societies.
