The slaves that West African slave traders sold to Europeans were usually captured in war.
How did the west African slave traders usually obtain the slaves the sold to europeans?
Many tribes fought each other, so they would capture people from the other tribe and sell them into slavery. This is not something new in history. In war people have been taken and sold into slavery for centuries. The Greeks used pirates to sell slaves around the ancient world and so did the Romans.
What did rich people wear in the Middle Ages?
Their clothes were made of the same materials as commoners, wool or linen, or animal skins, but usually of better quality; and usually colour dyed; possibly with sewn patterns. A few medieval Europeans were able to afford silks imported form the orient; silk clothing was very expensive and usually reserved for special occasions.
Why did the Muslims usually defeat the Europeans in the Crusades?
That is not true actually... both side lost lives, and it was sort of an equal fight... I would, though, agree to you that the Muslims had a little more advanced weaponry, but the Christians dominated for their tactics, belief and fate.
