They weren't. They were the slave of choice used by the United States - but they were not the only creed enslaved by the west.

There were also Arabic slaves, Indian slaves, Chinese slaves, aborigine slaves and so on.

In history, some civilisations took slaves from nations they conquered for example, the Romans enslaved people - some which were forced to fight each other to the death for their entertainment.
In the American Civil War, yes. Labourers on the Southern plantations were imported from West Africa.

If you're asking about the many forms of slavery still flourishing today, such as people-smuggling and drug-debt exploitation, both the slaves and the slave-owner-drivers are from all races.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
