The slave trade impacted Africa but even though millions of Africans were enslaved, due to new crops that improved Africans’ health, the slave trade did not reduce the overall population of Africa.

Since the 16th century, European monarchies such as the Spanish and Portuguese had been using African slaves. But then it came the Atlantic Slave Trade in the 18th century that worsened things in Africa. It affected families and societies in many African tribes. It also created an economy based on the slave trade for the few and impoverished the many.
