Negative cultural impact from the slave trade

The slave trade had a huge negative impact on African-American families.  The trauma of loosing family members, removing members from the social framework that depended on them for living.  The stress that it put upon others is unreal.  Psychological disorders that came from this is off the charts.  The people that for taken and put into the slave trade had roles in the community had had an impact on others.  If you remove a man who is well known for trading.  Who are you going to trade with now that he was taken. It is sad that this had to happen.  I'm grateful that today we do not live in a society that excepts slave trade.
