Because so many slaves were being taken away from Africa and transported to the Americas and Europe, the African economy was declining because of it.

the columbian exchange
The Columbian Exchange is named such because it all started when Columbus mistakenly landed in the Caribbean in 1492 (also the year the Columbian exchange is noted for starting). It is also referred to as triangular trade (sugar/agriculture from Americas to Europe, manufactured goods from Europe to Africa, and slaves from Africa to the Americas).
The Columbian exchange was a transfer of Culture, Plants and animals, and diseases, between The New (North and South America) and Old world (Europe, Africa and Asia). If it is not a plant, Animal, Disease or Cultural practice, it was probably not part of the Columbian exchange.
