Type your response in the box. List three factors that that caused Africa to become a growing source of slaves for the slave trade.​

1: The Europeans who did most of the transportation of slaves from Africa viewed then as godless heathens and therefore a non-human in a way which gave them justification to exploit them for labor while "trying" to teach them about god.

2: It was a logistical god send because of the Colombian Exchange and advancement of sailing technology that allowed for Africa to become the in-between from Europe to South America which allowed for the selling of sugar/Rum in Africa while buying slaves to sell in North and South America.

3: They were a fairly easy "resource" to "harvest" because many warrior tribes inhabited Africa and would capture and sell their competing neighbors to the slave traders in exchange for rum and weapons/supplies.

Slavery in Africa grew as a result of three factors:

Slavery had been practiced in Africa for centuries, particularly in the Middle East. This already existent slave trade was enhanced by Europeans.

Slavery spread over Africa as a result of tribal and other warfare. Soldiers from the losing side were taken prisoner and sold into slavery after these conflicts.

To farm their land in the Americas, Europeans required cheap labor.

congress was not thoroughly prohibiting states from funding religious schools.
