Best Answer

Europeans captured slaves in Africa by indirect means. After establishing trade with coastal societies, the Europeans would convert and enlist the local populace to raid the interior of Africa. These raids would capture, usually, the enemies of the enlisted Africans, but given the right price the raiders were not afraid of capturing friendly tribesmen as well.

The Slavers Sailed to west Africa in giant slave ships, and went through villages, taking paople at gunpoint forcing them onto the ship. The ship which generally had a 300 slave capacity, would sail to eastern America and sell the slaves in auction. This was known as the Slave triangle.
