The slave traders that came to Africa had a ready made supply of slaves from the villages along the coast. These villages thrived on the sale of slaves they captured for the passing traders.
Without this ready made supply, the industry would have been unable to survive. Had the traders been required to find their own slaves, they would have moved on to different fields.
Trading of humans for the purpose of slavery was a common practice up until the 1800's. Many different cultures and groups have been slaves. White individuals from Ireland have been slaves in Africa is just one example.
Jewish people in Egypt is another. The difference here is that Blacks were the last group to legally become slaves. They are also the last group in the United States to be slaves under law. Today, we still have forms of slavery, but they do not involve the trading of individuals from Africa. Asia is the current group of choice.
