How was slavery that existed in Africa differ from the transatlantic slave trade?
slaves could inherit their masters property. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am not sure about the veracity of the above:- In Africa and indeed across Europe in ancient times slaves were taken as part of conquest when one people attacked another and the ethnicity of the slaves (and masters) was varied. Anyone from any race could be a slave and anyone from any race could be a master. In America all slaves were black Africans and slavery became a racial issue - to justify (in their own minds) what they were doing the white slavers needed to regard the people they had enslaved as inherently inferior humans (because it would be wrong to enslave someone who was equal). This is what made the transatlantic slave trade different.
