No. The West Africans who were enslaved have nothing to do with the Jewish people. Most West Africans were Animists believing in African Folk Religions.

No, the slaves of West Africa were not primarily Jews. The majority of slaves transported from West Africa during the transatlantic slave trade were native Africans of various ethnic groups. While there were enslaved Africans who practiced Judaism, the overall population of slaves from West Africa consisted of people from diverse cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds.
