Explanation

The decline of the Atlantic slave trade in the 1820s led to significant economic shifts in West Africa.
With a decrease in the demand for slaves in the New World and increasing anti-slavery legislation, African states were compelled to adopt new economic strategies.
This shift resulted in the development of alternative industries such as palm oil, cocoa, timber, and gold, forming the basis of West Africa's modern export trade.
