^^ThisThe African tribes that the European slave traders delt with had been selling slaves amongst themselves for decades before any white man came along.
And they SOLD the slaves to the traders. it's not like the traders went in there with big nets. the communities there thought it was a reasonable exhange at the time.
and yes, it ended up terribly for those sold, but the european traders were just getting in on an existing trade and expanding it.
