Weekly Assignment 4

 Slavery was the basis of the so-called Atlantic system. We have spent much time in class discussing the economic effects of slavery on the Americas and Europe, but there was another continent effected by the slave trade--Africa. State and provide evidence to back up your position regarding the effects of the slave trade on African states. This paper should fill at least two sides of an 8.5x11 sheet of paper, with one inch margins and a conventional 12 point font. This assignment is due at the beginning of class on Thursday, February 7.
