It was not the Europeans that raided the African villages, this was done by other Africans wanting to capture slaves to sell.

How did the European get the African slaves?

Europeans, (Portugese, Spanish, French, Dutch and English) sailed south along the West African coast, to places like Sierra, Leone, or Nigeria. In these places , they came into contact with the local kings and tribal chiefs. These local kings and tribal chiefs had alrerady enslaved black African people. The Europeans just purchased these slaves and shipped them to the Americas. Hence the large proportion of black Americans. NB Historically, there has never been a culture of slavery in Europe. The Slave Trade was just businessmen making a profit. NNB Great Britain passed the Abolition of Slavery Act in 1833, thirty years before the American Civil War. The Abolition of Slavery Act was an attempt on the British parliament to stop the slave trade.
