Well there was lots of slave dealers (all white people) at the time and they would just take people off the streets and put them on a large ship to take abroad! i don't believe this because there wasn't really streets in Africa where they were taken from.

What tripe!

Slavery existed in Africa thousands of years prior to the invasion of White traders (It still exists to this day!). The old testament even notes warring tribes in North and central Africa who took slaves of their defeated armies.

'Ipso facto' what the (White) slave traders did do was to commercialise on a massive scale (for the time) by purchasing slaves from the (Black) slave traders. This previously small trade became the big business of the 18th century. This in turn changed the then minor African trade from simply selling slaves of inter-tribal warfare, into large scale hunts specifically for the hunting of slaves. It is this which the white slave traders were primarily guilty of.
