Africa was affected by the Atlantic slave trade in two main ways: economically and socially. Economically, the slave trade disrupted local economies by diverting human resources away from agriculture and other industries. Socially, the slave trade resulted in the loss of millions of Africans who were forcibly taken from their communities, leading to destabilization and trauma within African societies.
