The Atlantic Slave trade affected many of the African people, also including others such as; Congo/Angola, Gold Coast, Slave Coast Benin to Calabar, and Madagascar which can be found in the east of Africa. In today’s society, slavery still exists but has changed in many ways. It has evolved to fit a more, “modern form”, one that doesn't cause many people to worry.
