Question

questions 2 and 3 refer to the following. number of africans transported to the new world, 1450 - 1900 3 which of the following contributed most directly to the change in the number of africans transported to the new world after 1800? a the emergence of a more industrial economy in great britain and the united states b the outlawing of the international slave trade by great britain and the united states c the increased resistance to slavery within african nations d the influence of major slave rebellions in haiti and elsewhere

Explanation:

The outlawing of the international slave trade by Great Britain (1807) and the United States (1808) directly targeted the trans - Atlantic transportation of Africans. This legal measure was a significant factor in reducing the number of Africans transported to the New World after 1800. The emergence of an industrial economy (A) was more related to the shift from labor - intensive plantation economies (which still used slave labor in some regions) but not as directly to the reduction in slave transport. Increased resistance within Africa (C) and slave rebellions (D) were factors, but the legal prohibitions by major slave - trading nations (B) had a more immediate and direct impact on the trans - Atlantic slave trade.

Answer:

B. The outlawing of the international slave trade by Great Britain and the United States
