Which statements best explain how the transatlantic slave trade changed African culture? Select three options,
It delayed industrialization.
O It increased wealth for Africans.
It decreased the population in the area.
It caused conflicts between different groups.
It strengthened agricultural development in Africa.

Hello there! :D

I want you to keep in mind for this question to focus on the best answer. Also, remember that different countries can go through the same experiences, that includes industrialization!

So, let me start off with the answers that I don't think fit the question of what changed African culture.

-It increased wealth for Africans.

Although this seems like a no-brainer, some tribes would actually sell neighboring tribes to white-folk for money and supplies. I do not think this fits, however, because of the loss of Africans as a whole.

-It strengthened agricultural development in Africa.

No, it really didn't. They lost many of their people and skilled laborers to the slave trade.

Here are the ones I think fit:

-It delayed industrialization.

It did for the African community, maybe not for the Americas. I know the question is referencing African culture, so it is most likely true that this was a consequence of the slave trade.

-It decreased the population in the area.

Obviously, 76 Million Africans were taken from Africa. Yes.

-It caused conflicts between different groups.

Like I said before, some tribes would fight with each other for women/children left behind, would sell each other, etc. It was a disastrous time for many Africans and I hope history never repeats itself in this way.

I hope this helped you and you have a wonderful day,
