Do Now: Opinion

I believe the Europeans became interested in Africa because of the people over there. They classified them as "dumb, but strong". Therefore they used them as slaves. Slavery is the biggest thing between the relation of Europe and Africa.
I think that the slavery will impact African society negatively. The people are being taken away from their tribes, villages, and away from their families. With more and more people going away, the number of labor forces in Africa will go down and bring the economy down with it. And just socially, the impact will be huge, both positively and negatively. Positively because the people that are going to be slaves will be so close to each other that they will get to know each other a little bit more. Negatively because the families will be apart forever.
