African slavery was already in practice when Europeans first arrived to purchase slaves in the early 16th century. Warring African tribes and factions often enslaved prisoners of war, or invaded enemy villages to kidnap and enslave villagers. The tribe leaders made a sort of business selling the slaves to European customers. Though some slaves were sold to the European continent, the majority were shipped to colonies in the New World for labor.

What country let slaves go first?
Well, slavery exists all over the world. If you are talking about African slaves in the Western Hemisphere then the first country would probably be Haiti. Although, they fought for their freedom and France as a result gave Haiti up. Also, remember that there was widespread enslavement of Native Americans. Enslavement of natives was typically given up before the use of Africans as slaves, due to them dying off from disease. There are also Palenques and Quilombos in Latin America that were areas for free or escaped black slaves. These were essentially like reservations, or an area within a city, and not the entire country.
