Trade in West Africa has been recorded since thousands of years ago. However, with the emergence of a powerful Islamic Empire in the Middle East and North Africa, Trans-Saharan trade increased considerably as traders from different parts of the continent started to trade goods.

While gold and salt were the two major trading goods, other items such as textiles and koala nuts were also major items.

By the 10th century, various powerful and rich Kingdoms emerged and their wealth was famous beyond just Africa.

though africans landed with few possessions, they carried their cultures, skills, and spiritual worldviews into the americas. wherever african religions took root in the new world, africans and their descendants changed and adapted their belief systems to local circumstances and influences. individual circumstances created variations in the way people practiced their faiths, what they believed, and what significance it held for their lives.
