How did both slavery and antislavery lead Americans and Europeans to become involved with Africa?
Slavery led Americans and Europeans to become involved with Africa by decreasing their population. The Africa's population decreased as the amount of people being put into slavery increased. Also, the transatlantic slave trade affected the African society through the internal slave trade. Antislavery led to Americans and Europeans to become involved with Africa through their crusades. Antislavery reformers wanted to influence the African American into Christianity. The various efforts by antislavery groups began to impact Africa in the first half of the nineteenth century. The main goal of antislavery groups was to initiate a new African economy by substituting new peaceful trade in tropical goods for the slave trade. Their main goals were to develop free trade and spread Christianity.
