  13. Forces that Facilitated Change • Co-operation of African governments with the slave trade • The great diversity of language of the African peoples  made “revolt” difficult • Terrible conditions (especially in the Caribbean) caused the need for more and more slaves • Once slaves started having families it made running away/ resisting more difficult (threat to family or separation)

  14. Forces that Impeded Change • To the slave trade: • Slave resistance (no matter the overall result- it still was a force to act against change) • To Africa: • They lost 12 million people from their workforce – effected their productivity

  15. Cause and Consequence • Conquistadors killed all the Native Americans  they went to Africa for slaves • African government officials made a lot of money from the slave trade  there was a support system in place in Africa that allowed it to continue • Rise and Fall of African Kingdoms (due to alliances because of slave trade) • Collapse of the northern Kingdoms and growth of the smaller ones
