"what the hell does that have to do with it ??"

Can't you figure it out?? It is a simple rephrasing or rendering of the already posted summation:

"By fair means and foul, Britain outwitted its European rivals and became the premier trader in the enslaved from the seventeenth century onwards, and retained this position till 1807. Britain supplied enslaved African women, men and children to all European colonies in the Americas."

You see...there was a rivalry. Do you know what a rivalry is? Is this getting too deep for you??
