Best Answer

Answering who and when started slavery is a tough question. We can track the first shipment of slaves to the colonies, however, the concept of slavery has taken place much longer. Those who were captured during acts of war often became slaves to those within both Europe and Africa. In fact, many of those who were sold were slaves (captives) from neighboring tribes - though those who were brought into a tribe in Africa, if they transitioned into the new tribe, were often treated as family members.
