  Co-operation of African governments with the slave trade  The great diversity of language of the African peoples  made “revolt” difficult  Terrible conditions (especially in the Caribbean) caused the need for more and more slaves  Once slaves started having families it made running away/ resisting more difficult (threat to family or separation) Forces that Facilitated Change

  To the slave trade:  Slave resistance (no matter the overall result- it still was a force to act against change)  To Africa:  They lost 12 million people from their workforce – effected their productivity Forces that Impeded Change

  Conquistadors killed all the Native Americans  they went to Africa for slaves  African government officials made a lot of money from the slave trade  there was a support system in place in Africa that allowed it to continue  Rise and Fall of African Kingdoms (due to alliances because of slave trade)  Collapse of the northern Kingdoms and growth of the smaller ones Cause and Consequence
