Transatlantic Trade
3 ) Consequences in Africa
.i. ) Population
-50 million African were lost
-above all healthy young men
.ii. ) Women
-The transatlantic slave trade, along with diseases and
famine, had a negative effect on population
throughout West Africa, resulting in intense
competition (many more women than men in Africa)
.iii. ) Tribal wars
-Slave trade increased wars between tribes in order to
make captives to be sold to Portuguese.
-laws were made in African societies in which crimes
were punished by slavery.
.again, in order to provide more slave to Europeans
.iv. ) Cities -population fled cities .more chance to be captured in cities -you can imagine societies with no city = decrease -Trade decreased -population left the coast .african socities would rather develop inland, with less access to communication and exchange -you see a paradox, global communication, increased exchange in the world .but the opposite for Africans -all in all, it prevented development of African societies
