Yes, during the historical period when Europeans were going to Africa to obtain slaves, Africans did sell other AFricans into slavery. Generally speaking, the prevailing morality of the time was that only members of your own tribe or ethnic group are real people or have human rights; members of other tribes or ethnicities are the equivalent of wild animals, toward whom you have no moral obligations. They are just another resource to be exploited at will. Many people still feel that way. Just observe how the Hutus and Tutsis have been treating each other in recent years, for example.

How were Africans made to be slaves?
When opposing tribes in Africa battled one another, prisoners would be taken by the victors. The victorious tribe would then sell the prisoners to passing slave ships from Europe. This ensured that the prisoners would never fight against them again. The slave ships conveyed the prisoners to North America, where they were sold into slavery in the southern states. The slaves were traded for cotton, sugar cane, and other wares, which were then shipped back to Europe. This was known as the "triangle" i.e Europe, Africa, North America, back to Europe.
