You're kidding right? ever stopped to think why the blacks would do that? The colonist came into africa(and no i dont mean it in the litteral way it took lots of time for them to actually phisically go into the middle of africa) and basicly started controling the black with land, money and power. Sort of corupting them from the start.

Africans would have slaves for themselfs capturing enemy tribesmen but on a way smaller scale and keping them in there respective regions...but the only reason why slavery got so big is that the European forced them to sell them for overseas markets. They would sell them to the european is because they had to in order to keep there land. Its at a certain point became Sell Slaves to European nations or you will become the slave. Obviously the choice isint hard to make.


Yes some tribes becam richer but blamin the Africans for the downfall of it civilisation is compleatly absurd!
