The Atlantic Slave Trade had many effects. the captives of Africa were traded for weaponry and other goods. The Africans Lost a common language and a religion, while also creating more religions. The Americas also wanted people who had farming experience, were immune to some disease because the natives were dying of their disease and no knowledge of the Americas, so they looked to Africa. The Americas also made a lot of money and food off the slaves, so they could trade with Europe.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,princes and other scions of West African nations wer educated in Senegal. Many of these blooded princes and their retainers were kidnapped and sold into slavery,and even some chieftans and tribal kings who went in search of their missing children found the same fate. The countries where these families came from lost some of the wisest and bravest families that could have been hugely instrumental in reforming these nations.

Did slavery have a greater impact on the West Indies or on West Africa?

Study shows that there was an impact on both the West Indies and on West Africa. The impact on West Africa for the most part was just negative, while the West Indies received alot of positive impacts due to the factor : Slavery. West Africa suffered a population decrease, while due to slavery the West Indies' population was increasing. Since the Europeans were trading with the Africans, the Africans were getting guns and other weapons which caused them to lower their values because they were killing up their own people in tribal wars, while the Europeans were trading the African for slaves that they used as laborers on their plantations to make themselves wealthier. In conclusion, I have found out that slavery has had an impact on both West Africa and the West Indies. However, the impact in the Americas or West Indies was positive, while the impact was negative for the Africans of West Africa.
