And that's the reality of slavery. The white man did not introduce slavery to Africa. Indeed, even today it is practiced there. The fact was that conflict existed before the white colonists every stepped foot on African soil. One tribe would conquer the other, kill the men, and enslave the women and children. All the whites did was create a market for something that the black rulers felt was an expendable, and treacherous, commodity, the male warriors of the tribes they conquered.

The Arabs and the whites did create much of slave market. So instead of just taking enough slaves for home consumption, you had whole kingdoms on the coast who made their livings raiding the interior for slaves for the export markets. The Arabs and Europeans didn't have to go get them; they just sat on the coast with trade goods.
