Best Answer

They purchased them from other tribes that captured the slaves for them. Europeans almost never captured their own slaves. They established trading arrangements with powerful African kingdoms. These powerful African groups did virtually all of the kidnapping and capturing, and sold the captives to European slavers at established slave trading ports on the coast. In East Africa the Arabs did most of the slave trading.
