Positive And Negative Effects Of Slave Exchange On African Americans

The Atlantic Slave trade brought more than 10 million Africans to America during the 15th century. This not only impacted the slaves and their descendants but also the economy. Many slaves were bound to stay in Africa, many were transported over the Sahara toward the north which uplifted the effect of the slave exchange on the region. It is estimated that the number of inhabitants in Africa stayed quiet until the end of the nineteenth century. The slave trade resulted in the development of predatory rules, because of this many community’s moved away from the slave routes. The negative consequences of the trade were not only economic but also politically, as African rulers organized the capture of slaves, traditions were created of brutal and
random intervention by the powerful in people's lives. The long-term financial mistreatment of millions of black slaves was to have a huge effect on the New World's history. It produced deep social divides between the “rich white and poor black communities”. The divide was re-enforced by the determination to segregate black and white communities, white people would mistreat black people because of the color of their skin. Having them use only bathrooms, restaurants’, fountains, etc. where it said colored only. Making the quote “Separate but equal” known; and discourage interracial marriage, and by the hesitancy to free black people from slavery from one generation to the next. The only "good" that maybe came out of this is the fusion of the African and American culture together.
