Which group was impacted the most? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER WITH SFI!

The Africans were the most impacted group. They were taken from their homes off the West coast of
Africa by their opposing tribes. They were then sold into slavery on a different continent and were
forced to do labor at the will of their owner. Also, they are also getting their religion flipped around
from their beliefs before to Catholicism.
