The trade happened because we had offered to give supplies or materials for a trade. The effects on this was to get materials, supplies and slaves that you needed to survive. Without the supplies we needed to plow the lands, that the African Americans did, we wouldn't have been able to grow crops that were needed for everyone because without food we would all soon die of starvation, murder or everyone would just turn capable.
We learned about this because we were curious of what had happened long ago in the past and what major and minor events had brought us to live in the world we live in to this day. We all can connect to this because most of the continents have learned that without each others help, we wouldn't be able to grow and survive our world.

If this event had never occurred we would have never learned that without the help of close friends we would have never survived and we would also never have moved to the west as fast as we did because we needed more room to grow cotton and a place to put our slaves.
