Answer:

Causes: In the slave trade, southern states used slaves for labor purposes such as raw material extraction, cotton production, and plantation work.

Effects: The slave trade caused violent uprisings from slaves for freedom and justice. The slave trade started the civil war between the north and southern states. Increased social awareness of rights and treatment of African Americans.
