From my history sources, it appears Europeans and The Americas gained massive wealth from the slave trade, but the Africans who played a part in trading Africans, got little out of the deal.   It appears that the trading wealth increase was short term for trading other Africans.Could someone give me answers and sources?I read about trading arms for slaves, and even grains like corn.   I'm not sure what kind of trading or wealth was created on the African side.  I know in some parts of Angola, there's a pride in the Portuguese slave dealers.  I wonder what wealth was created, and what was the main trade item for Africans.</blockquote>
