Answer:

Africa missed out on generations of economic, cultural, and political development.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Atlantic slave trade is also known as the triangular slave trade since it formed a triangular system of trading and transporting slaves through the waters.In Africa, they traded goods for captive slaves who were transported to America to be sold.The slave trade stole about 12.4 million of African men and women .This brought about negative effects in Africa such as lack of cultural, economic and political developments. it made Africa and Africans poor. Africa did not even experience an agrarian revolution nor the industrial revolution due to the slave trade.
