Well first of all the answer to your question is no. The Europeans treated African slaves horribly. They made them work all day. Slave trading between Africa and Europe began with the Portuguese, who were the first European nation to make continuous contact with Africa. African slaves were mainly taken to Europe to be used on a land that needed slaves. If a slave got tired, and slowed down or stopped, they would get a punishment.
Sometimes slave owners would rape their slaves, raping is one of the many cruel and mean things done to slaves. Raping a slave wasn't even against the law! Sometimes slaves were beaten so harshly that they nearly bled to death. Slaves couldn't have an education, and it very hard to escape slavery.
