The transatlantic slave trade significantly altered power dynamics in Africa by empowering certain groups and kingdoms that engaged in the trade, often at the expense of weaker societies. Regions like West Africa saw the rise of powerful states like Dahomey and Ashanti, which capitalized on the demand for enslaved individuals by conducting raids and warfare against neighboring communities. This led to increased militarization and political centralization in some areas while destabilizing others, resulting in a shift in trade networks and social hierarchies across the continent. Ultimately, the trade contributed to long-lasting social and economic disruptions that affected African societies well beyond its abolition.

The slave trade significantly altered power dynamics in Africa by empowering certain kingdoms and societies that engaged in capturing and trading enslaved people. Regions such as the Ashanti and Dahomey grew stronger and wealthier through their involvement in the trade, while others, particularly those that resisted or were targeted, faced destabilization and decline.
