What tribes in Africa were afflicted by the slavers of the New World?

Answer 1

That's a common misconception. Slaves were actually sold to Dutch Traders. When neighboring tribes would fight they would usually kill their neighbors. Often they would take a few of the defeated neighbors back to their villages as slaves. When Dutch Traders arrived, and wanted to find something of value from Africa, the Africans offered some of their slaves. Dutch Traders liked the arrangement resulting in an industry in Africa and Europe. It was easy for the Africans to sell slaves since slavery had been so common. Egyptians had been using slaves for a long time, and Egypt is in the north part of the African Continent, so who would THEY take. Egyptian slaves were, of course, anyone they could capture and defeat. Neighboring Africans were convenient and learned about slavery from their neighbors to the north. Slavery was also common in other parts of the world, India, Asia, South America... which in no way justifies that practice. So when you ask which tribes were afflicted, the answer can only be, just about all of them that were near the coast or thos that were within easy reach of Egypt. Slavery was part of a bad era for the United States and the people who had to endure it. There were a total of twelve African tribes afflicted by the slavers. They were from the tribes of: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph and Benjamin. These twelve tribes were descended from Abraham, through his son Isaac and his son Jacob (later renamed Israel). Israel's twelve sons became twelve tribes. They were enslaved because they disobeyed God's commands and laws. The slavers took the Israelites to the Caribbean islands and South America to chop sugarcane and to North America to pick cotton. Although today the Israelites are still living in exile in foreign lands, the future will see them return to Africa and to their former glory as God's chosen people. (refer to the biblical book of Deuteronomy 28:1-68).
