Answer 1

It traded in salt and gold with many other groups

Answer 2

Answer: It traded in salt and gold with many other groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main goods in the trade routes of Ancient Africa were gold and salt. By 1000 B.C.E., the kingdom of Ghana had expanded and become notably wealthy. The land that today is Mauritania, Mali, and Senegal, provided enough gold to make Ghana a leader in the trans-Saharan trade system. Salt, which was sometimes employed as money, was excavated in the Sahara Desert.
