The slave trade significantly shifted power dynamics in Africa by empowering certain ethnic groups and states that participated in the trade, often at the expense of others. Coastal kingdoms, like the Ashanti and Dahomey, grew wealthy and militarily strong through their involvement in capturing and selling enslaved people to European traders. In contrast, many inland communities were destabilized, weakened, or decimated due to the loss of population and the violent conflicts triggered by the demand for slaves. This reorganization of power contributed to long-lasting social and political ramifications across the continent.
