Africa,+the+Atlantic,+and+Islam

====The Middle Passage and the disturbing circumstances of plantation slavery devastated African lives in the Atlantic system. A great number of other Africans died while they were forced to march to African coastal ports for so they could be sold for use in the Americas.==== ====It is obvious that the trade’s effectiveness relied upon the potency and terms of other African lands’ involvement. The Atlantic system’s involvement in Africa also counted on the fact that some Africans benefited from the trade by capturing and selling slaves to make a greater profit. The enslavers roped and chained the slaves together or tied them to forked sticks for the journey to the ports, then exchanged them to the European slavers for manufactured goods.====

A better comprehension of the Atlantic system’s effects in sub-Saharan Africa is taken from the comparisons with the effects of Islamic links.
