Africans engaged in the transatlantic slave trade primarily due to economic motives, as the trade provided access to valuable European goods, weapons, and resources. Additionally, some African societies participated in the slave trade to acquire power and influence through alliances with European traders. It is important to note that the slave trade was facilitated and intensified by European colonization and exploitation of Africa.
