The European slave trade did not begin until the fifteenth century A.D. More than 10 million slaves were sold in Europe and the Americas over a period of about 400 years, Ancient African slaves were referred to as servants. They could marry, own property, or even own slaves of their own.
The first country to use African people as slaves were the Portuguese. In 1441, two Captains of Portuguese ships, names unknown, took 12 slaves from Africa and brought them back to Portugal as slaves. Other countries followed such as Britain, Spain, Netherlands and France. Hope it helps.
European influence has been seen in both culture and traditions. For example, South Africa was governed by the English for quite some time and it had a strong influence. As a result, many whites inhabit the country.
European slave traders mainly went to the coastal West African modern day nations such as Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone.
