It created the current borders. The concept of 'nation-States' was (apart from Ethiopia) unknown south of the Sahara. There were only tribal lands with only vaguely defined borders that were continually and often hotly contested between the tribes.

How did transatlantic slavery most affect the population of Africa?

Its effect on the population of Africa was not so big. Although a great number of slaves were over time exported to the Americas, their number was only a fraction of the total number of slaves kept within Africa by other Africans. It is not something that today's African historians like to dwell upon, but slavery was ubiquitous in Africa. Tribal conflicts all over Africa invariably ended with the winner enslaving as many members of the losing tribe as it could get, and slaves formed the backbone of the local economies. Selling and exporting slaves was part of that economy: over the centuries, more slaves were sold to Arabs than to Europeans. After Britain outlawed the slave trade in 1807 it actively fought it wherever it found it. Strange at it may seem in hindsight, Britain's colonial activities started in the 1880's primarily because it wanted to forcibly end local slavery in those territories.
