Content: Their role in the triangle trade. Kick started their economy through agriculture then also had the wealth to invest into the industrial revolution and prevale
this was the western world at its beginnings
Africa-
Exporting humans, gold and other natural minerals
Exchanged raw materials for humans or natural minerals
Africas population staggerd
Communnities became ghost towns
People would flee into regions for saftey of capture (moutains or deep forest)
Constant wars
Rich leaders poor populations
Only leaders or Kings were the ones trading for themselves the populations only lived in fear from becoming slaves the leaders were exporting humans in exchange for guns alcohol etc Africa's part in the triangle trade was devastating on the continents economy

"Civilized" is a loaded word to use when talking about the complexity of a society or a culture. The short answer to your first question is "yes;" the societies in Egypt, Kush/Nubia, North African coast (including Carthage, which was started as a Phoenician colony) and Jenne-Jeno along the Niger River were highly sophisticated. The medieval societies in Ghana, Mali, Great Zimbabwe and the Swahili coast were also sophisticated and were in close contact with the Eurasian "civilizations" of the time. Your first question makes some huge assumptions, though. First, what we can call "slavery" was almost always a feature of these, and other, ancient societies. Second, it suggests that the Transatlantic slave trade that depopulated Africa to supply slave markets in the Americas and in European and Asian kingdoms was somehow a "civilizing" influence, which the historical record shows is not the case.
