Because they had no rights nor freedom
Europeans preferred Africans as slaves due to several factors, including perceptions of Africans as physically fit for labor in harsh conditions, their perceived lack of education and culture, and existing trade networks that made it easier to obtain African slaves through the transatlantic slave trade. Additionally, European colonizers believed in the legitimacy of exploiting African peoples as a means of economic gain and power.
Africans were sold as slaves primarily due to European colonization and the transatlantic slave trade, where Europeans captured and bought Africans to work on plantations in the Americas. The demand for cheap labor to support the growing sugar, tobacco, and cotton industries led to the widespread enslavement of Africans. Additionally, Europeans justified their actions through racist ideologies that dehumanized Africans.
Europeans used Africans as slaves in the West Indies for several reasons, including resistance by Native Americans, higher immunity of Africans to diseases, cultural differences, and the availability of Africans through the transatlantic slave trade. Native Americans were also more likely to escape due to their knowledge of the land.
Slaves owned by Africans were sometimes given more rights, better treatment, and opportunities for integration into society, such as the possibility of marrying into the owner's family or achieving freedom. In comparison, slaves owned by Europeans were often subjected to harsher conditions, faced higher levels of brutality, and had limited chances for social mobility or freedom.
Africans needed manufactured goods such as textiles, firearms, and metal tools from Europeans in exchange for their raw materials like gold, ivory, and slaves. This trade relationship ultimately led to European colonization of Africa and exploitation of its resources.
Africans were primarily used as slaves due to the transatlantic slave trade, where millions were captured and sold to European colonizers. Europeans faced resistance and legal challenges to enslaving their own people, while Africans were seen as a more readily available source of labor due to existing practices of slavery on the continent. Additionally, racial prejudices and beliefs in the inferiority of Africans were used to justify their enslavement.

Europeans justified using Africans as slaves by dehumanizing them, believing they were inferior and lacking civilization. They portrayed Africans as exotic, savage, and uncivilized people who needed to be civilized through slavery. This allowed Europeans to exploit Africans for labor and economic gain without guilt.
