The Portuguese started trading Black Africans first and the Spaniards were the first to use them in their colonies in the Americas, down the line others started to use black slaves as well such as the English Dutch and French!So basically the Portuguese and the Spaniards were the culprits.

The transatlantic slave trade had devastating effects on African civilizations, leading to significant population loss and societal disruption. Many communities were torn apart as millions of people were forcibly taken from their homes, creating a legacy of trauma and instability. Additionally, the trade fostered violence and conflict among African groups as they engaged in wars to capture individuals for sale. This destabilization hindered economic and social development, leaving lasting impacts on the continent.
The transatlantic slave trade began in the late 15th century, around the 1500s, as European powers sought labor for their colonies in the Americas. Initially, Portuguese and Spanish traders transported enslaved Africans, but by the 17th century, British, French, and Dutch involvement increased significantly. This trade was driven by the demand for labor on plantations producing sugar, tobacco, and cotton, leading to the forced migration of millions of Africans across the Atlantic. The trade continued to expand until the 19th century, profoundly impacting societies on both sides of the Atlantic.
