The vast majority of the slaves in the Atlantic Slave trade that supplied slaves to the Americas were bought by European slave traders from local African tribal leaders. The slaves came from two sources:1) "Undesirables" that a nation wanted to get rid of. These might be criminals, heretics, the mentally ill, the indebted and any others that had fallen out of favour with the rulers.2) The rest came from military conquests by African groups - many for the express purpose of capturing slaves for sale. The chief groups were the Oyo empire (Yoruba), Kong Empire, Kingdom of Benin, Kingdom of Fouta Djallon, Kingdom of Fouta Tooro, Kingdom of Koya, Kingdom of Khasso, Kingdom of Kaabu, Fante Confederacy, Ashanti Confederacy, and the kingdom of Dahomey.

they got they start from European because Europeans began to enslave African who could be obtained from trading post along the African post Slavery in Africa predated European contact by thousands of years and was part and parcel of trade, commerce and wealth in African nations. The first European contact leading to the purchase of slaves was from with the Portuguese. Europeans did not go to Africa to "enslave" Africans but rather they went to Africa to purchase slaves already enslaved by African rulers.
