Explanation:

The first blank refers to the group that slave ships traded with in African ports to acquire enslaved people; local African warlords and elites (referred to here as "locals") were the ones who captured and sold enslaved people to European slave traders. The second blank refers to the group that relied on the labor of enslaved people in American colonies; slave traders were the middlemen, while the industries in colonies depended on enslaved labor, and the context points to "slave traders" not being the dependent group—wait, correction: the first blank: slave ships brought goods to trade with locals (African warlords/sellers) in African ports to get enslaved people. The second blank: the slave trade depended on the labor that enslaved people produced, and the structure shows the industry depended on that labor, but the dropdown for the first blank: the sentence is "The slave ships brought in weapons and fabric from Europe and sold them to warlords and [__] in ports of Africa." The correct term here is locals, as they were the ones partnering with warlords to supply enslaved people. The second blank: "The slave [] depended on the... enslaved people produced"—the slave trade's economic system relied on slave traders, no, correction: re-reading, the first dropdown is for who the slave traders sold goods to in African ports: warlords and locals (local African elites who captured enslaved people). The second dropdown: the slave trade's profitability depended on the labor of enslaved people, but the option is "slave traders"? No, wait, the sentence: "The slave [__] depended on the that the enslaved people produced in the European colonies in the Ar..." The correct term is "slave traders" is not right, wait no—wait, the first blank: when slave ships arrived in African ports, they traded goods with local African leaders (warlords and locals) to get enslaved people. The second blank: the slave trade's economy (slave traders' business) depended on the labor of enslaved people in the colonies. Wait, no, the options are slave traders, crew, locals.

First blank: The slave ships traded with warlords and locals in African ports to obtain enslaved people.
Second blank: The slave traders depended on the labor of enslaved people produced in colonies, as their profit came from the enslaved labor's output in the colonies.

Wait, re-clarifying:

1. First sentence: "The slave ships brought in weapons and fabric from Europe and sold them to warlords and [____] in ports of Africa." Local African groups (locals) worked with warlords to capture and sell enslaved people, so they were the ones receiving European goods in exchange.
2. Second part: "The slave [____] depended on the that the enslaved people produced in the European colonies in the Ar..." The slave traders' livelihood and the slave trade's economy relied on the products of enslaved labor in the colonies, so the correct term is "slave traders".

Answer:

First blank: locals
Second blank: slave traders
