Part 1. This discussion addresses the following module and course outcomes: Examine the social and demographic effects of the Transatlantic Slave Trade on African societies. (CO1, 4 & 6/Gen. Ed. Outcome 4.2) Africa remains one of the most unstable continents in the world, as its societies suffer ethnic tensions, civil wars, and occasional outbursts of genocide. To what extent did the Transatlantic Slave Trade contribute to these contemporary problems in Africa by causing sociopolitical instability and demographic shifts? Or, were conditions prevalent in Africa before the trade began more responsible for explaining the continent’s social problems? In preparation for our discussion be sure to read: Guisepi, R.

Northrup, The Atlantic Slave Trade, Part 4 Based on your readings, please answer the following questions: To what extent do you think the Transatlantic Slave Trade caused sociopolitical instability and demographic shifts that contributed to problems like ethnic tensions, war, and volatility in African societies in the nineteenth through twenty-first centuries? How does this legacy relate to the additional legacy of European colonialism in Africa? You must support your answer with detailed evidence from the readings. Part 2 This discussion addresses the following module and course outcomes: Compare and contrast the scholarship on the relationship between the Transatlantic Slave Trade and African economies to assess the role of the trade in the economic underdevelopment of African nations. (CO2 & 6/Gen. Ed. Outcome 4.2) The economic effects of the Transatlantic Slave Trade remain a central debate in historical literature on the topic. As the module notes outline, there are essentially three major positions in debate. Some scholars argue that the trade was pivotal in undermining African economic development, while others argue that it had no impact on the continent, and a third group consider the trade as only one factor among many that robbed the continent of the ability to develop economically in the nineteenth through twenty-first centuries.
