The Slave Trade (p.197)



Slavery had been practiced in Africa since
ancient times. The primary market for slaves
was Southeast Asia, where most slaves were
used as domestic servants.
Slavery also existed in some European
countries.
The demand for slaves increased dramatically
with the discovery of the Americas in the
1490s.




During the 16c., plantations (large agricultural
estates) that grew sugar cane were set up in
Brazil and on islands in the Caribbean.
Sugarcane was a crop introduced to Europe
from Southwest Asia.
Growing sugar cane requires much labor.
African slaves were shipped to Brazil and the
Caribbean to work on the plantations.
In 1518, a Spanish ship carried the first
boatload of slaves directly from Africa to the
America.




During the next two centuries, the trade in
slaves grew dramatically and became part of
the triangular trade.
The triangular trade is the pattern of trade
connecting Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
European ships carried manufactured goods,
such as guns and cloth, to Africa, where they
were traded for a cargo of slaves. The slaves
were then shipped to the Americas and sold.
As many as ten million African slaves were
brought to the Americas between the early
16c., and the late 19c.


The journey from Africa to the Americas
became known as the Middle Passage.
Many slaves died on the journey, and those
who did arrive often died because they had
little or no immunity to diseases.




Before Europeans became involved in the
slave trade, most slaves in Africa were
prisoners of war.
Slaves were sold at slave markets on the
coasts.
At first, African slaves traders got their supplies
of slaves from coastal areas nearby. As the
demand for slaves increased, they begun to
move farther inland to find their victims.
Many local rulers traded slaves. They viewed
slaves as a source of income.



Slaves from Africa were obtained by
Europeans from African slave merchants.
The slave trade led to the depopulation of
some areas. It also took the youngest and
strongest men and women from many
communities.
All the following were impacts of the slave
trade on African societies: increased warfare,
depopulation of some areas, and deterioration
of art and culture.



In general, the Europeans influence in Africa
did not extend beyond the coastal regions.
Only in a few areas, such as South Africa and
Mozambique, were there signs of a permanent
European presence.
In most areas, traditional African political
systems continued to exist. The traditional
African political systems were mainly purely
tribal clans.




Europeans were causing changes in other
ways, however. In the western Sahara, trade
with Europeans caused trade routes to shift
toward the coast. Ashanti, was a gold coast
state.
This led to the weakening of the old Songhai
trading empire.
The African empire of Songhai was devastated
by invaders from Morocco.
Eventually, the Moroccans were forced to
leave but Songhai was never the same.




Foreigners also influenced African religious
beliefs, but Europeans had less influence than
the Islamic culture.
In North Africa, Islam continued to expand. It
also spread southward into the states of West
Africa.
The Portuguese engaged in some Christian
missionary activity in Africa, but the English,
Dutch and French did very little to spread the
Christian message.
The spread of Christianity was mainly limited to
South Africa and Ethiopia.
