European slave traders captured slaves in Africa during the transatlantic slave trade.
European slave traders did not have to capture slaves in West Africa themselves because they established trade relationships with local African leaders and groups who conducted the capture and sale of slaves. These local intermediaries would often raid neighboring communities or conduct warfare to acquire captives, whom they sold to European traders in exchange for goods such as textiles, firearms, and alcohol. This system allowed European traders to profit from the slave trade without directly engaging in the violent and complex processes of capture and transportation.

West African slave traders primarily obtained slaves through a combination of warfare, kidnapping, and trade with local communities. They often conducted raids on rival tribes or villages to capture individuals, while some slaves were sold to traders by their own communities as a result of debt or punitive measures. Additionally, European traders established trade relationships and offered goods in exchange for enslaved individuals, creating a demand that fueled the transatlantic slave trade. This complex network of capture, trade, and economic incentives facilitated the acquisition of slaves in West Africa.
