a) The suppression of slave trade led to loss of independence that is to say, it confirmed among
the Arabs and Swahilis that the Sultan had lost independence over the East African coast, and
that he was now a British puppet.
b) The suppression of slave trade led to development and growth of legitimate trade which
provided equally profitable business to both Europeans and African traders. Many ship owners
diverted their ships from transporting slaves to transporting raw cotton and raw sugar from Brazil
and America.
c) It accelerated the coming of European missionaries to East Africa who emphasized peace and
obedience thus the later European colonization of East Africa.
d) Disintegration of the sultan Empire. This is because it loosened the economic and political
control which the sultan had over the East African nations .His empire in E.A. therefore began to
crumble .This gave opportunity to other ambitious leaders like Tippu-Tip to create an
independent state in Manyema ,where he began selling his ivory and slaves to the Belgians in
Zaire.
e) The abolition of slave trade was a catalyst to the partition of East Africa where by Britain took
over Kenya, Zanzibar and Uganda and Germany took over Tanganyika.
f) Slave trade markets were also closed for example Zanzibar in 1873 following the frère treaty
signed between Sultan Barghash and Bantle Frere.
g) Islam became unpopular as many converted to Christianity.
h) African societies regained their respect and strength as they were no longer sold off as
commodities.
