Answer:
Africans organized their societies around the family unit, and gold supply often dictated which society held the most power—until the start of the Atlantic slave trade.
The beginning of the Atlantic slave trade in the late 1400s disrupted African societal structure as Europeans infiltrated the West African coastline, drawing people from the center of the continent to be sold into slavery.
New sugar and tobacco plantations in the Americas and Caribbean heightened the demand for enslaved people, ultimately forcing a total of 12.5 million Africans across the Atlantic and into slavery.
Explanation:
The African people were to develop into nation states later because of the colonization of Europeans that make boundaries which leads to formation of nation states. Before the colonial period, Africa was not organized into the nation-states that is present today. They have fixed boundaries and a nominal national identity but with the colonization of European countries, nation states begin to develop.
The role of European imperial powers and tribal chieftains is very significant in the international slave trade and nation's state development because the demand of slaves in the European countries increases and the tribal chieftains allows the sale of slaves to these countries in order to make good profit from it.
