Slave Trade

There are about eleven million Africans that were shipped across the Atlantic.  The slave trade transformed all the different societies.  Some were disrupted while others strengthened as some were corrupted.  The Atlantic Slave Trade increased the work rate on plantations which stimulated the economy.  Slaves have been around since before Christ, making this a popular and easy choice for people to make.  Slavery increased the amount of money made around Europe and Euro-America.  During the Islamic world many preferred to have women slaves instead of men, while the Atlantic Slave trade dominated with males.  This could be because there was a higher demand in “satisfaction” versus labor work.  Once trade increased in popularity, the demand for products increased which means there needed are even more laborers working on the plantations.  The cheapest way to do this was to buy slaves to do all the hard labor because that why the plantation owners were not losing any money by having to pay the workers.  Africa became the main slave source throughout the different nations.  Muslims, Europeans, and Euro-Americans all used Africa to supply their nations with slaves.  Soon West Africa decided to fight back.  This resulted with many Europeans dying off from lack of immunity to the diseases that were in the Africa as they traveled further into the land to fight off the resistance.  West Africa was supplied with weapons to fight back when these other nations would travel there to take the slaves away to work on the fields.
