Slavery was commnplace in Africa - tribes often fought and took prisoners after a victory. When the Europeans came to Africa they were soon able to capitalise and took slaves to work on plantations around the world. It is worth noting that the British were the last to enter the slave trade - economic pressures made slavery almost inevitable. The British were also the first to stop slavery and only the power of the Britsh Navy was able to force other nations to stop this practice.
