The slave traders made certain coastal tribal chiefs their allies, and initially bought their prisoners of war as slaves. This prompted those chiefs to actively hunt and trap people from other tribes deeper in the interior, eventually trading with still other tribal chiefs for enough slaves to fill the ships. In other words, traders got some tribes to capture members of other tribes for them.
