The correct statement that compares how American and African economies were impacted by trade with Europeans is: African and American economies suffered as people were enslaved and their resources were extracted.
To determine which statement correctly compares how American and African economies were impacted by trade with Europeans, we need to evaluate each statement.
1. "American and African economies suffered from trade taking place along the Silk Road."
This statement is incorrect because the Silk Road primarily connected Asia with Europe. The impact of trade on American and African economies was not directly related to the Silk Road.
2. "American and African economies suffered as people were enslaved and their resources were extracted."
This statement is generally considered to be accurate. Trade with Europeans resulted in the enslavement of millions of Africans, who were then forced to work in plantations and mines. The extraction of resources, such as gold, diamonds, and agricultural products, also contributed to the suffering of African and American economies.
3. "African and American economies accumulated wealth through the trade of fur, weapons, and textiles."
This statement is incorrect. While fur, weapons, and textiles were traded during the colonial era, the accumulation of wealth primarily benefited the European powers, not African and American economies.
4. "African and American economies benefited when the raw materials of their land were processed into new goods."
This statement is also incorrect. The processing of raw materials into new goods was mostly done in Europe, which limited the economic benefits for African and American economies.
Given these evaluations, the second statement is the most accurate. It recognizes the negative impact of trade with Europeans on both American and African economies, with the enslavement of people and extraction of resources.
