Q

How did slave trading and different ethic groups being forced together in countries negatively affect Africa?

A

Slave trading negatively impacted Africa because it meant that other colonisers would gain more and Africa would lose more because now less and less people were in Africa and the population would decrease and there wouldn’t be enough people to help others out.Different ethnic groups being forced together would mean that a.majority of them would forget their roots and would have to learn how to live with people who they didn’t know about which would cause conflict for Africans meaning that instead of supporting each other in hard times they would sometimes rebel against each other!
