Africans participated in the slave trade due to various factors such as economic gain, political power, and competition between African kingdoms. Some were forced into the trade through warfare and capture, while others saw it as a way to acquire goods and resources. It's essential to note that African involvement in the slave trade was complex and not solely motivated by one reason.

Africans who were sold in the Atlantic slave trade were primarily captured by other African groups, including rival tribes or kingdoms, during conflicts, raids, or through the manipulation of local rivalries. European traders facilitated this process by providing weapons, goods, and incentives, encouraging these groups to capture and sell individuals. Additionally, some enslaved people were victims of internal slave systems, where individuals were sold due to debt or punishment. This complex network of local and European involvement contributed to the transatlantic slave trade's operations.

Some Africans participated in the slave trade due to economic incentives, like receiving goods in exchange for slaves.

Africans played various roles in the transatlantic slave trade, including capturing and enslaving fellow Africans, selling captives to European slave traders, and working as middlemen. However, it's important to note that African involvement in the slave trade was complex and not unified, as some African societies resisted the trade while others actively participated in it for economic gain or to gain advantage over rival groups.
People were captured by Africans and enslaved. They were then taken by their African captors and sold at the coast for Manillas (copper and bronze armlets) that had been manufactured in Europe. The African kingdoms that ran the slave trade became very rich on the proceeds of selling Africans that they captured.
