The answer is B. Since slavery was introduced to the West Coast of Africa in the 1600s, it became a thriving trade that spurred the industrial revolution. The trans-Atlantic slave trade was used to put slaves on the farms in the Americas. The African leaders benefitted from the sale of Africans as slaves. Powerful kingdoms hence raided weaker tribes to capture slaves for sale to the Europeans.
