Effects Of Slavery On African Americans
When the Europeans where ashore, waiting to collect Africans for slavery on their boats, they used various techniques to persuade individuals and tribes onto their boat. They would stand on the shore ad display brightly coloured cloths and decorated beads; as these items were unfamiliar with the Africans and attracted them towards captivity.
Another technique the Europeans used was trading. They would discuss what materials they could give in with African tribal chiefs to try and compromise a resolution to receive members of their tribe. Focusing mainly on weaker tribes, as it would be easier to find an agreement as those types of tribes are more willing to what they would offer. These examples are short term effects on the social factors.
Moving onwards to another short term social effect. Hangings were one of the most common way to remove people. The government wanted this to be seen as a harsh and an event people would want to strive away from, but it eventually had the opposite effect. Public hangings turned into social events; It even landed its own news article, The Malefactors Bloody Register, turning into a best-seller. Parents would bring their children with them on hanging days, the meant to be terrifying public act turned into a carnival.
At auctions, the slaves would get branded with a red-hot iron, leaving a permanent mark. It was a mark to showcase who had bought them and where they needed to go. When slaves started to get collected and transported, the ships went straight to America, to support the agricultural business as they had a continued high demand for workers. This created a range of different civilisations, from wealthy to scrubs. These examples are all short term social factors.
Continuing onto long term effects. Slave Trade had existed for an extremely long period, an estimate of twelve to fifteen million forced immigrants. This created a drastic decrease in Africa’s numbers; stumping further growth on the country, we know that even today Africa still struggles.
Two thirds of this number were male; starting to slowly make sexual demography unequal. Sexual demography is still used today in some select societies, in the past decades, the topic has brought up and a colossal number of people are now standing against it.
Racism is another large effect that is widely known today. There are still some select groups that continue these acts, but the issue has since dramatically decreased. Africans were, and sadly still are, treated like animals. They were given no respect, privacy and had insults thrown at them regularly because of their situation and the color of their skin.
