• tribal and political conflictes increased and they’ve continued until today
• social conflictes have an impact until these days = badly richness and power distribution between the people = they can’t establish their own democratic country, in fact more often this type of countries are led by a military-dictator or a spiritual guide
• backwardness of African mainland = during the Colonialism didn’t take modernism in the colonial areas and, today these countries have weak Economic plans
5. HISTORICAL MISUNDERSTANDING OF USA:
• the USA are a result of an indipendece war from Uk = USA were one of its colony
• althought they were born as a free country and they still are one of the most free counties of the world = they are the most racist country
• their wealthness = a lot of slaves = manpower, especially in the American South Countries, where there were big plantations
• a civil war between North and South was caused by racism and slavery → North American Countries = against slavery manpower, South American Countries = pro slavery manpower → the American Civil war winners were the North Countries = abolition of slavery = white men had and still today have more rights of black men = however racism continues to exist
1)we know that the slave trade began as early as Ancient Greece, and occurred over the centuries until the early 1800s. Slaves deported to America were 14/20 million. 2) the geographic areas that contributed most to trafficking were France, North America, England, Spain, Portugal and Holland and the slaves frequently were of African and Eastern origin.
3) 1,500 Portuguese warehouses are filled by black people. 1769 in America the slave trade spreads About 1800 The Church takes note of the slave trade 1807 England declares illegitimate towards the slave trade.
4) The African social balance was broken because of the white population, and still suffers today.
5)America was born out of a war of independence, anti-colonial, founder of modern democracy and supporter of human rights, but despite this they supported the slave trade.
1. The historical period of slave trade began in the 16th century and and ended in the 19th century
2. The geographic areas concerned were Africa, Portugal, Spain, France, England, Holland and North and South America
3. Crucial dates:
• 1807, when trafficking was banned by the British government
• 1861, American civil war
• 1980, definitive abolition of slave trade
4. The consequences in Africa due to the slave trade were a decimation of populations, depletion of raw materials and destruction of tribal balances. Also there was a loss of workforce
5. Consequences of historical misunderstanding was that black people continue to be discriminated and the slave trade was used for enrichment
The historical period of the slave trade began in 1500 and ended in 1807 the geographical areas mainly concerned 3 countinents: Europe. Africa and North America while the most interested colonizing countries were: England, Portugal, Spain, Holland and France There are 4 important dates in this time frame: 1471: The Portuguese arrived in Africa for trade
1500 The slave trade begins
1770 Diderot wrote the first book on the slave trade
1807 England passed a law that declared slavery illegal.
The consequences of this period in Africa were consumption of materials, the alterations of the tribal balance, the lack of evolution societies the Joss of the workforce and colonialism.
The effects on America were the change in the principles of freedom and independence for all. In fact. it supported the exploitation of slaves which led the war of indipendence 1861
With the discovery of America colonialism begins and it is in this period that the trading of slaves
increases so much that in 1500 begins the so-called slave trade.
Between 600-700 is the full period of the slave trade.
During the 16th to the 18th centuries was“the peak slave- trade era.”
2. Slaves were sold by African states (from the Kingdom of the Congo and by states that overlooked the
Gulf of Guinea) to Western European merchants and then deported to the American continent.
Black slaves were taken from Africa and then brought to various European countries such as England
France Spain Portugal Holland or landed in North America (English colonies) or South America (Spanish
and Portuguese colonies).
The main European colonial powers were Spain, Portugal, England, France, the Netherlands.
One of the English cities that mostly imported slaves was Liverpool while one of the French cities was
Nant.
A trade triangle is created between Europe, Africa and America.
3. 1471 the Portuguese arrived in Africa to trade gold and ivory.
In the 18th century the ships of the colonial powers sailed African waters to reach India.
1500 the slave trade begins
600-700 period of maximum operation of the slaves' trade.

1770 work "HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY AND POLITICS OF EUROPEAN TRADE
ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE TWO INDIES"
1773 the religious group of the Jesuits is dissolved
1807 England defines trafficking as illegal, the first law prohibiting the slave trade.
1861 civil war breaks out in America.
4. The slave trade has produced serious consequences for Africa. First of all it broke the internal social
balance and confused the relations between the black ethnic groups. The invasion of white peoples on the
continent has altered African reality. Due to a violent demographic impact, tribal balances have changed,
complicating existing conflicts and accentuating internal political instabilities
Another consequence of the slave trade is the lack of evolution of some African societies, in fact in the
African continent there are still very backward human islands today.The slaves who were captured in
Africa were very young between the ages of 16-25 so Africa lost much of the workforce.
This trafficking prevented the stabilization between the various African states that could have occurred
between the weak and the strong. And so every balance was broken at the beginning. The colonization of
Africa reduced the whole state into slavery. Consequence that Africa continues to pay today.
5. The historical misconception on which we should reflect is that if we are in modernity today it is thanks
to the slave trade. The USA was born out of a revolution, an anti-colonial war of independence but
slavery remained stable in the United States especially in the southern states.
This will determine 65 years after a civil war. So America, that born on political and philosophical
principles of freedom and independence, rests on the misunderstanding of the presence of black slave
work.
The USA is the most racist country in the world because discrimination against black people still occurs
today.
today. Furthermore, the industrial revolution in the world is a revolution on textile machines, that is, machines more, the industrial revolution in the world is a revolution on textile machines, that is, machines
that used cotton collected from slaves and therefore cheap because they were collected by free labor.
The modern industrial world rests on the slave trade politically and economically.
In addition, in the past, the presence in the southern states of blacks gave the South American ruling class
a touch of aristocraticity; the richest in the south was who had more slaves on the plantations therefore
these slaves which were a negative symbol became a positive symbol on a social level.
