The participation of the African leaders and the Europeans had been actualized because there had been greed developed in the minds of the African leaders (Kelley & Lewis, 2005). There had been commerce initiated by the American traders to ensure that there would be a win-win situation for all (Kelley & Lewis, 2005). There had also been interests shown by the European traders to ensure that they would also benefit (Kelley & Lewis, 2005). There had been calculations made by the African leaders about not losing anything after participating and getting involved in commerce with the American traders as well as the European traders.
