slave traders went to africa because they wanted to get more slaves to sell or trade
Actually there are recorded documents that show that the Native Americans did buy slaves from slave traders, the Cherokee for example were known to buy slaves (African & American slaves). While this was not large scale slavery as practiced by the American's it did exist.
It was not the Europeans that raided the African villages, this was done by other Africans wanting to capture slaves to sell.
The market for West African slaves in creased as Muslim traders bought or seized black Africans to sell in north Africa.
Many tribes fought each other, so they would capture people from the other tribe and sell them into slavery. This is not something new in history. In war people have been taken and sold into slavery for centuries. The Greeks used pirates to sell slaves around the ancient world and so did the Romans.
West African slave traders primarily obtained slaves from various regions within West Africa, including the interior and coastal areas. Many captives were taken from rival tribes during conflicts, while others were enslaved due to debt or criminal punishment. These traders then transported the enslaved individuals to coastal trading posts, where European merchants purchased them for transatlantic shipment. This network of trade facilitated the brutal exploitation of millions of Africans during the Atlantic slave trade.
