Answer:
All of the following resulted from the growth of the Atlantic slave trade in Africa EXCEPT
A the shift in trade focus from Saharan routes to the coast
B destabilization of local African societies
C the exclusion of Africa from the emerging global market
D increased violence through widespread use of firearms
Explanation:
The Atlantic Slave trade opened up trade routes on the coasts of African nations. Prior to this, Saharan trade routes connected Africa to the Arab world for trade of spices and slaves.
The slave trade took young and healthy Africans. This decimated communities, created panic and caused widespread destabilization of societies.
The European slave trade exchanged guns for slaves, giving community chiefs guns in exchange for their prisoner of wars. The chiefs in turn used these guns to expand their territories, causing increased violence.
