East Africa.
It helped lead to the rise of militarized states in West Africa, whose large armies preyed upon
their neighbors in order to capture slaves.
It encouraged the expansion of West Africa's domestic textile industry, which supplied clothing
for slaves.
It led to an increase in West Africa's population during the 1700s as slave traders encouraged

It successfully united West African nations to resist European slave traders, who reluctantly
ended the trade by 1763.
