What was the slave scramble?

What were the beginnings of slavery?
Historically, slavery began in Biblical times with Jews being slaves to the Egyptians in Ancient Egypt. They were slaves to the Pharoahs. Slavery started because someone thought they had the right and power to enslave another human being, usually for economic gain. For example, slaves built the Pyramids. Colonial United States just continued centuries of someone in power believing they could own another person. Britan practiced slavery and indenturehood-- and thus, when colonists came to America, they continued what they knew, except that people discovered tons of free labor in Africa. The first white man who physically took an African woman or forced African men onto ships continued centuries of practices of overwhelming a country and taking by force. Britan saw a huge need for their elite citizens who moved to America to have free labor. Thus, slavery was inevitable. Ironically, American settlers did NOT try to enslave American Indians, at least not en mass. Perhaps one reason was that Native Americans fought back with scalpings etc. Perhaps Europeans thought of Indians as "savages" and less able to be taught that the black slaves. Or, perhaps the Europeans suspected that if they took Indians as slaves, they would anger and incite ALL the Indian tribes... at a time when white men wanted Indian lands.

How did they catch slaves in Africa?
Who's they? White people? Or black people? White people actually didn't catch any slaves. Lots of people are misinformed and they think white people just showed up on boats and rounded up a bunch of tribal Africans by pointing guns at them and forcing them onto their boats. What ACTUALLY happened is African tribes and kingdoms were constantly at war with each other, and sometimes they captured each other to sell each other as slaves. Black people sold slaves to other black people and to Arabs for many hundreds of years before America was colonized by Europeans. When the white people who owned plantations wanted to save money by using slaves, they went to Africa to buy them because that's where there were lots of slaves for sale to anyone who would pay for them. Black people captured other black people in wars and then sold them to white people. Actually, Africans were already living in the United States along with many other nationalities. If you read "Before The Mayflower," by Lerone Bennett Jr., you'll learn that the white plantation owners tried to enslave whites, but they escaped and there was no way to identify them. Next, they began enslaving Native Americans. However, the Native American slaves were getting sick because the conditions were too harsh. It was only then that the plantation owners began enslaving Africans, known as Moors at the time. When they traveled to Africa, the African leaders had no idea that their form of servitude would turn into 300 years of the worst form of slavery known to humankind. It had not been practiced that way in Africa. After wars, captured prisoners became servants for a period of time. African chiefs did not know the slaves they released to the free world would be packed liked sardines on a ship and forced to lie in their own excrement. They didn't know they would be beaten with a cat of nine tails, castrated and treated worst than animals. However, after a point, they attempted to stop selling the slaves. The slave ship owners dispatched catchers who stole human beings. Many of those slave ships were owned by the Barclay brothers, whose descendents now own banks (funded by the blood, sweat and tears of African captors). Europe then proceeded to carve up Africa, pillage and colonize it. (This answer is by Denise Crittendon, not the answer above.)
