Slave trade : started in 1400

To justify the slave trade its supporters dehumanised the African race, used as slaves, hence they were called "black cattle". This led to Africans being thought of as an inferior race, the consequences of which can still be seen in acts of racism today.

Slaves became known as non people , which is why racism occurred especially between whites blacks and Indians.
