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. Excess population was seen as a source of wealth and a commodity of trade by African rulers.
The concept of Europeans stalking Africans to make the slaves is factually inaccurate, a distortion of the reality of the African slave trade and has led to a distorted view of the African slave trade reinforcing racial bias for political purposes.

No. Slavery and the slave trade had been going on in Africa for centuries before the Atlantic Slave trade came into being.
The Atlantic Slave Trade primarily involved the forced transportation of African slaves to the Americas for labor on plantations, while other slave systems existed in different parts of the world throughout history. One key difference is the scale of the Atlantic Slave Trade, which was the largest forced migration of people in history, involving millions of African slaves. Additionally, the Atlantic Slave Trade was heavily racially motivated and institutionalized, creating a system of chattel slavery where slaves were treated as property with little to no rights.
