question 9 (1 point)
where had the africans aboard la amistad been illegally kidnapped from?
the congo
sierra leone

Explanation:

For Question 7: European technologies like guns and gunpowder made it easier for African communities to engage in conflicts. When communities fought, captives from these conflicts could be enslaved. So, it intensified conflicts and increased the supply of potential slaves.
For Question 8: The widespread practice of enslaving prisoners of war within Africa meant more people were available as slaves for European traders. New religious beliefs (Question 8 option 1) didn't directly lead to more slaves. A decline in moral objections (Question 8 option 2) is a factor but not the main cause of the "greatest growth". Decreasing demand for gold (Question 8 option 4) is not relevant to the growth of slave supply.
For Question 9: The Africans aboard La Amistad were from Sierra Leone.

Answer:

Question 7: It intensified conflicts between communities, increasing the supply of potential slaves.
Question 8: The widespread practice of enslaving prisoners of war within Africa.
Question 9: Sierra Leone.
