2. Slave Trade’s Impact on African Communities
Political
Less taxes – no money for the government -> no money for the army, no people for the army
Broken treaties
Broken relationship and trust between tribes
No cities, villages too far apart, poor housing
Economic
Less people to work  more jobs for others?  less people to create jobs = less labor force and less jobs
No businesses because of poor education
African slave traders receive bad deals from Europeans and get less money for slaves because they are not educated -> less wealth for Africans
Social
Separated families  less population
Others
Poor education because families don’t have enough money for pay for a good school, no money for supplies, no money for teachers, teachers get captured
Slaves didn’t get education
No education = no educated teachers for the future, no different education levels
No concern for education
