This was the beginning of the African slave trade. The Europeans differed from the Arabs in that they did not normally conduct raids themselves, but usually bougth slaves from Arab slave brokers and African chiefs. Europeans built trading post and forts all along the coast of West Africa.From Senegal south to Cameroons there were about 60 forts that served as trading posts for the slave trade. The Europeans exchanged rum, cloth, guns, and other trade goods for their human cargo.he demand for slaves by Europeans redirected trade west to the new European trading stations along the Atalntic coast. As a result, the African states of the savanna declined as coastal states increased in wealth and importance.
Next to the Gold coast there was the Grain Coast and next to that the Ivory Coast. This is still the name of a country today. The strip of land in West Africa that used to be called the Gold coast and the Grain Coast is the location for modern African countries such as Ghana, Togo and Benin.Other countries that supplied slaves were Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria and Angola.he current country map of Africa is largely the invention of Europeans. This led to strange divisions of land. For example the French took the West African territory of Senegal but the British claimed its interior and named it Gambia. Thatâs a bit like having Scotland right in the middle of England.
