In West African cultures, slavery often involved forms of servitude that were more integrated into familial and societal structures, with slaves sometimes having rights, the possibility of social mobility, and the chance to assimilate into the host community. In contrast, the Atlantic slave trade treated enslaved individuals as property, subjecting them to brutal conditions, dehumanization, and a complete loss of personal rights and identity.
