Negative effects in Africa because of the Colombian Exhange

The Colombian Exchange of the 15th and 16th centuries fostered the Atlantic slave trade. The effects of this on Africa were immense and brutal. The capture and forced deportation of young, healthy Africans between the ages of 18 and 40 took a toll on the continent's demographics. Back in Africa, the compulsory marches in which captured Africans took part were lengthy and lethal; many died before they even left for the New World.
Politically, the social structure was upended across the African continent, as long-standing relationships between ethnic and religious groups, soldiers and civilians, and neighboring communities shifted. Social rifts were created. Traditional African values were undermined. European intervention prevented African nations from organizing against them.
All this cultural chaos enabled the rise of vulturous regimes that still exist today and stifled economic and technological growth. Agricultural production was slow to stabilize, for example. Before a nation can industrialize, it needs agricultural security.
Ultimately, the slave trade sparked by the Columbian Exchange left Africa disorganized, defenseless, and underdeveloped. Everyone was simply too preoccupied with trying to stay free, fed, and alive.
