The slave trade was the reason most Europeans started to look for African colonies. Europeans made a lot of money from selling slaves.
Europeans held all types of slaves, from Asians to Muslims to even Europeans themselves. The most known, however, are the African slaves which lasted up until the 1800s in some parts of the Western world. Africans have held other Africans as slaves, even up until today. Muslims are another group of people who had slaves, too typically African. The Chinese are yet another group who held slaves. Most of these slaves were Slavs from Eastern Europe. In fact, this is where the etymology of Slav comes from (slave). Virtually every group of people have had slaves. Most of the time, due to war.
The europeans were so greedy that they wanted what the africans had. The gold,ivory, and slaves. The Africans were the most richest in gold, and europeans wanted that. The europeans wanted the gold so badly that they were envios and greedy.
During the era where Europeans began the slave trade in earnest, slaves from Black Africa were sometimes obtained by providing a Tribal chief with European products that were unobtainable for most African people. In some cases gold and silver were used to have a Tribal chief provide slaves to the slave traders.
Most of the raw materials that exchanged hands in the East African trade came from Africa.
Europeans carried out the use of native Americans as slaves the most

When the Europeans colonized the islands in the Caribbean sea, they brought African slaves with them to do much of the physical labor, such as working the sugarcane plantations. This was common in many other places across North, central, and south America and many other colonies settled by Europeans. Slaves were freed after many decades, and some slaves had been in the Carribean for several generations. As such, they felt more connected to their Caarribean culture than a distance and little known African culture, so when slavery was abolished and they were granted their freedom, most stayed in their current homes.
