None of them.

First, there really were no African Nations in the modern sense during the Atlantic slave trade. Africa had a tribal organizational structure... although certain very powerful and sophisticated tribes, such as the Toureg, almost could qualify as nations, they were the ones who were NOT generallysold as slaves.

Rather it was generally the less powerful, more tribal peoples who fell prey to slavery.

Secondly, when Europeans colonizing the new world sailed down the coast of Africa, they did not have to 'enslave' anyone... wherever they stopped they found Africans SELLING other Africans.

African had a very robust slave trade all on its own... the sudden interest of Europeans in buying slaves by the shipload simply escalated the scope of Native African slaving enterprises.

Most Atlantic trade slaves were taken into slavery by African tribes, transported to the coast, and sold there to Europeans.

Many tribes of west Africa were singled out due to theirinablity to adequately defend their territories from neighborig tribes.
